Travel has many rewards. As I've just been talking about food & drink, it's
probably fair to recognise that a large part of the pleasure in travelling is the
opportunity to sample new or different cuisine. For that matter, I'm convinced that
physical location can alter your perception and enjoyment of food (the best tomato I have
eaten in my life was in a tiny village high up in the Carrara mountains of Northern Italy).
Some countries I associate quite strongly with food. France is an obvious one (few
things can beat fresh French bread with local cheese and wine, preferably outdoors by a
river in Summer!). Italy and Thailand and Hong Kong are also places where food ranks highly, though
Italy probably scores even higher with me for it's culture and way of life.
