Most of us (especially me!) love indulging our senses in the fine aromas and tastes found around the world. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your food arrive while at a restaurant.
For a foodie like myself, travelling means sampling the foods of that particular region, thus I bring to you: Around the world in 15 plates, through which you see the soul of the people through the foods they create.
(Just to be fair, I’ll be going alphabetically)
Draniki with apple and sour cream sauce: BELARUS
These yummy potato pancakes are one of the most popular Belarusian breakfast dishes. Here is a recipe to make some of your own!

Palusami: Fiji Islands
Nestled in the Pacific Ocean, far northeast of New Zealand, lie the Fiji Islands. Palusami is the traditional dish of this tropical country, and if you are to ever visit Fiji, make sure you try this!
Arroz Guatemalteco: GUATEMALA
Guatemalan Fried Rice. ‘Nuff said.
Guyanese cheese rolls: GUYANA
These look better than any cheese rolls I’ve ever seen.
