Taking a break from the usual photo-stream, I've decided to participate in an initiative which the travel blog BootsnAll has created. Starting November 1, they launched a project called 30 Days of Indie Travel. They’re inviting bloggers from around the world (including you!) to join us in a daily blogging effort reflecting on our past travel experiences. Each day, they'll post a new prompt on BootsnAll articles. Bloggers can follow the prompts as strictly or loosely as they like, interpreting them in various ways and responding via text, photos or video posted on their own blogs.
Today's theme: Feast
For some of us, food isn’t just a part of our travels, it’s the reason why we travel. Whether you travel the globe to try new foods and use food to form a deeper connection with the culture or just eat to live, food plays a big part in the travel experience. Share a food-related story from your travels or describe your best meal.

How true the description just really is. Food is one of life's best gifts, and travelling just exposes you to some of the countless variations of preparing food there really are! The more you travel, the more exotic foods you get to try.. and for those of us who LOVE food, that's one of the biggest highlights! It really is a way to get a better understanding of the culture you're visiting, and if you're lucky, you get to eat with the locals and see all the traditions and ceremonies which may be tied in to the food as well! Meal time is a ritual shared by all cultures, so what better way to get connected, then to "break bread" together?
As opposed to trying to narrow the post down to just one meal (that would be impossible), I'll just post a bunch of pictures from some of my favorites meals which really stand out! Just the thought of this post is making my mouth water already! Enjoy :)

Argentina
MMMMMmmmmm Cheese, Olives, Ham, Bacon, Brushetta, and of course Malbec (not shown)
If they know how to do anything right, Argentinians know how to do STEAK!
Meat meat meat - Argentina knows meat (and don't forget the bottle of Malbec with every meal)
Brazil
Not what Brazil is traditionally known for - an incredible vegetarian meal!
Tanzania
Zanzibar's infused with Native African, Indian and Muslim culture - their curries are out of this world!
Zambia
Oxtail stew with a side of 'pap' and greens - a staple dish, and quite addictive!
Japan
Ramen soup - an all time favorite, even out of Japan (but it's clearly best at the source)
BEST. SUSHI. EVER! Fresh in the Tokyo fish market.. everything here was caught a couple hours earlier!
Peru
There's a battle for best ceviche between Peru and Ecuador. Results are in: Peru 1 - Ecuador 0
Once you go Alpaca, you never go backa! Spicy Mango sauce for the win!
India
The freshest food I've ever had in India - all grown right on the property - no oil used. Incredible!!
The greasiest, tastiest street food I ever had in India! Deep fried, lots of spices, no clue what it was! Delicious!
The most important meal of the day - fresh fruit, omelettes, chai tea, chutneys, and a view to kill for!
I don't think lengthy descriptions really could have done much more justice to these masterpieces of the culinary arts. Now that my stomach's ready to eat itself out of envy, I think it's time to go get a snack!
