So, it’s no surprise that historic street eats have made their way across the Atlantic in the form of the restaurant chain Wahaca and myriad street food vendors.

But what the South American nation may lack in years, it more than makes up for with its full-bodied Malbecs and crisp Chardonnays.

Jagged stone formations rising up swathed in a heavy mist, chunks of fragmented glaciers drifting eerily in a blue lagoon and bubbling hot springs breaking through cracks in the Earth’s crust are just a few examples of Iceland’s harsh,

India is a country that’s known for its deep-rooted traditions, layers of history and flavourful cuisine. Each mouthful of India’s aromatic food tells a story of a land worth journeying to, so it’s no surprise that countless travellers find themselves wandering its food markets and hunting down its Michelin starred restaurants on quests to satisfy rumbling stomachs while on India holidays. Every twist and turn supplies a sensory overload, with a soundtrack of clanging, chattering, bubbling and boiling.

Taste is an essential ingredient in the smorgasbord of sensory immersion that allows you to really get under the skin of another culture. Effortlessly capturing the essence of a country, food has the power to bring people together and is a means of maintaining a sense of cultural identity. If perusing menus, reading restaurant reviews and planning foodie pitstops are some of your favourite pre-departure rituals, then adding a food festival to the itinerary is guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.

Paris is the land of hard-and-fast kitchen etiquette, where skilled chefs come to invent, and foodie fans come to feast. From bubbling croque monsieur’s on café tables, chateaubriand in candlelit bistros and inventive 13-course tasting plates of caviar and curried lobster overlooking the Seine, Paris’ food scene has never looked or tasted better. But with 44,000 restaurants (119 of which proudly boast Michelin stars) jostling for the mouths of the city’s two million residents and 30 million annual tourists, deciding where to take the first bite can be the hardest part.

The vibrancy and variety of Thailand’s culture extends beyond its vast ancient temples and snap-ready scenery, to rich, tradition-filled menus in which hot spices pair perfectly with sweet, citrus flavours. Whether tucking into an authentic pad Thai in the perpetually moving Maeklong Market, or dining on world class Thai cuisine in one of Bangkok’s Michelin starred restaurants, Thailand is brimming with explosions of flavours just waiting to be tasted.

Culinary connoisseurs assemble, this one’s for you. If, like us, you spend the months, weeks and days before a holiday thinking about the smorgasbord of savoury and sweet treats that’ll pass your lips and waft beneath your nose from the second you arrive, you’re in the right place. Eating and holidays go hand in hand – literally. In fact, it seems almost criminal to walk around the winding cobbled alleyways of Bellagio without a gelato cone; or indeed tackle the sights and delights of Paris without a pastry and café au lait in each hand (à la Audrey Hepburn).

In a fast-paced world that is always changing, rituals and traditions are the threads that bind cultures and communities together. Passed from person to person and generation to generation, they can stick around for thousands of years and are a feature of all known societies. And when it comes to food traditions, there is a whole world of fascinating traditions waiting to be discovered. From centuries-old kaiseki dinners in Japan to honey-collecting practices using honeyguide birds in Tanzania,

No one does food quite like the Italians. Despite being replicated all over the world, it's only down the quaint cobblestone alleyways off Milan’s bustling arterial streets or up hilly Sicilian villages overlooking the glistening Mediterranean that’ll you find truly authentic Italian fare. For Italians, food is very much seen as a way of life. Family recipes are passed down from generation to generation and each region boasts its own unique delicacies that the locals take immense pride in.

There’s food, and then there’s Japanese food. Officially recognised by UNESCO in its Intangible Cultural Heritage collection, traditional food in Japan – or washoku as it’s known locally – is more than a meal, it’s a way of life. From artful multi-course kaiseki dinners, where shokunin or ‘the pursuit of perfection’ is continually striven for, to the expressions, vocabulary and rules that accompany them, Japanese food is tradition incarnate.

Days begin with breakfast, a mid-morning affair, followed by a leisurely lunch and dinner in the late evening, and there are plenty of opportunities for sweet treats and cured meats in between, so be prepared to spend the entire day feasting.

Bucket lists: we all have them. Climb a mountain, learn a new language, run a marathon - all excellent achievements before kicking said bucket but also all rather, how to put this, saintly. Here at Original Travel we've been cooking up a bucket list of an altogether more indulgent nature: the food bucket list. For who can deny the glory of scoffing a bucket load (sorry) of sushi in Japan's finest bars, supping sauvignon while looking out across South Africa's Cape Winelands or partaking in pintxos in the heart of San Sebastian?

We love a city that's recovered its mojo, and Bordeaux has most certainly done so. The grand 18th-century boulevards and buildings - paid for by the proceeds of the wine industry - spent decades down at heel until a recent sense of urban renewal lured young entrepreneurs back. Now, with the arrival of a direct TGV high-speed link from Paris, the capital's Gallic 'ipsters may well also migrate to the west coast.

It's no secret that Australia is one of the best wine producers in the world, and those in the know will also be aware that the variety and quality of food on offer here stands it in the running with the likes of Italy as one of our favourite all-round gastronomic destinations. What might be less well known is that there are a growing number of ways that visitors can get directly involved in the processes of farming, foraging, or filleting, and consequently end up with a meal that tastes all the better for knowing exactly where it came from.

The satisfying pop of a cork, the glorious glug of a bottle, the reassuring rattle of a cocktail shaker - whether it's a Virgin Mary, a classic G&T or a Bubble Bath Martini (lychee, poppy-seed, lavender, rose air and a rubber duck, obvs), a good drink at the end of a day spent by the pool, on the slopes or out exploring a destination is hard to beat. Even more so when said drink is enjoyed in a bar set in spectacular surroundings, from buzzing city-centre rooftops with panoramic views to relaxing beach bars looking out across the ocean.

The joy of Cuban food Cuba changes fast.. I've just come back from my second trip to Cuba in as many years (lucky me!) and one of the things that really stood out this time was how good the Cuban food was - especially in a country famed for having some of the worst food around. A couple of years ago salt and pepper was top of the packing list before you went to Cuba as the food was limited to tasteless pork and rice.

The cape of good grape. Wine snobs love to differentiate between the wines of the old world - namely those of France, Italy, Spain, Germany etc and those of the new (and therefore, by definition, inferior) world. South Africa's finest We suspect spending a day at the beautiful Vergelegen wine estate outside Cape Town might make those same wine snobs reconsider. Not only are the wines - and particularly the flagship Vergelegen 'V' and White Blend respectively - some of South Africa's finest, but the place itself is spectacularly beautiful.

I have no doubt that most of you will have already heard of San Sebastian and its notoriety amongst foodies as having countless Michelin Stars. I set off earlier this year to turn the region from a micro gastronomic adventure into a massive Basque journey through the whole of this north eastern corner of Spain. Brilliant Bilbao Conveniently the gateway to this region is into Bilbao. The city acts as a superb starting point as the food is divine but the centre is on a smaller scale than nearby San Sebastian.

How to choose from Cairo's thousand and one cafes? First of all, there are a lot more than that: the Egyptian capital has far more 'ahawi' (cafes) than there were 'Arabian Nights'. Secondly, the very definition of 'cafe' needs to be clarified, as the term covers an infinite range of establishments, ranging from elegant salons to streetside camps - a few plastic chairs, a cupboard, a small stove and a fridge staked out in an alley.

Foodie heaven... The Basques are a fiercely independent bunch, with huge regional pride, a language that seems to consist entirely of 't's, 'k's and 'x's, and a desire to be distinct. This sentiment has had a wonderful side effect - Basque food is one of the ways they like to differentiate themselves from their Spanish cousins. 'No tapas here - only pintxos.' 'Sherry? Pah, Andalucian filth.' You get the message.
