This was talked about on A Chef’s Table this morning, talking to the author Pim Techamuanvivit who has a new book called Foodie Handbook: The Almost Definitive Guide To Gastronomy.
I’ve included a screen capture of the 50 things here. But here are the top 10:
1. Go native
2. Eat a whole roasted turbot on the Basque coast of Spain
3. Eat a fugu
4. Give up trying to like something you hate
5. Try a durian
6. Dine at a Parisian three-star restaurant
7. Eat a perfect peach
8. Try a stinky cheese
9. Find your signature dish
10.Try khao chae, in Bangkok, at the height of summer
Of this list, the ones I can check off are: 1,3,7,8,12,15,16,17,19,21,22,26,31,33,38,39,40,42,43,46,50. 9 is a strange one since I keep changing my signature dish and 27 is a non-starter since I’m allergic.
Cool list! Which ones have you done? Any thoughts on foodie experiences that should be here? There’s no bacon anywhere on here, you know….
