Ideothetic Flow Hi! With the holiday season coming up, I thought it would be a good time to share this article from Rebecca Holland of the New York Times about How to Actually Eat Like a Local While Travelling. This starts with an interesting muse that this concept of "eating like a local" is more of a fantasy ideal we have when travelling. Ironically, we would not trust the stranger on the street as a food expert in our own home country, yet take this as the standard for a good experience abroad. She offers several tips from her own experiences: Conducting preliminary research; Going on a food tour; Asking bartenders and waiters; Being critical of reviews; Trying street food; and being specific when asking locals. I think these are quite good, specific advice, and worth a quick look before you go off on a holiday.
