When you think of international cuisine, what do you think of? For most of us, the first countries that come to mind are places like China, Italy, and France, whose cuisines are known and beloved on a worldwide scale.
However, the planet has a huge variety of countries whose culinary scenes deserve to have much more attention. Here are three of them, places that definitely deserve to be explored on a culinary level.
Ecuador
Ecuador, situated in South America on the equator and containing a Pacific coastline as well as a section of the Andes Mountains, has a cuisine that is as varied and as interesting as its terrain. Coastal seafood dishes such as encebollado and more inland dishes like goat stew and roasted pig all deserve to be savored.
Ethiopia
Some of the best food from Africa comes from one of the continent’s heartlands in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian style of eating highly spiced veggies with injera bread, a spongy material made with teff flour, is both fun and delicious.
Philippines
Did you ever think that you’d come across a food that seamlessly blends Spanish traditions with Southeast Asian tropical ingredients? Well, Filipino cuisine does just that, presenting some of the most exciting and varied dishes that you will find anywhere on the planet.
