The Best Food Trails Around the World for Exploring Local Cuisine

Many countries have started loosening restrictions, but many of us are still hesitant to sit and eat inside public places. Luckily, there are ways to enjoy local cuisine while traveling that don’t require sitting in a restaurant including joining a food trail. Food trails have high-quality, local produced goods and services in one geographical area. Here are our top pics for food trails around the world.

While there are tons of food trails offered throughout Scotland, our pic is the Arbroath Smokie Trail which features smokie, a whole woodsmoked haddock with the backbone still intact. You’ll find smokies hung on sticks above a hardwood fire of bleach and oak in the base of a whisky barrel.
