Taste of the Town: Foods You Never Knew

It’s time to explore, dear readers! Keep in mind that there are over 30,000 categorized edible foods on Planet Earth. How many have your taste buds enjoyed? How many are there left to try?

Remember, there is an adventure awaiting you in the realm of food. If your taste buds are seeking this adventure, support the nearest restaurant that offers such experiences.

Then, visit another type of food store, one that carries regional cuisine and new taste adventures. You can then explore in your own kitchen. Seek out spices and herbs that are new to you and to the friends and relatives you dine with. Most herbs and spices are perennial foods that people in those regions have enjoyed for centuries. They don’t have to be planted again every season.

Awaken your taste buds with this variety for a while, and then choose another different region of the world to explore. Start with a restaurant, and then a specialty store, either online or locally, to explore further.

What do you think the early explorers on Earth did?
