11. Food

Tues., Dec. 2

Post #6. Food: Do some research into the cuisine of where you're going. Study some menus (there are lots of them online), go to a restaurant, read some articles about the cuisine where you're gong, then write about what you did and what you learned.  You might take a look at the Slow Foods website, and this website on food and travel by a Gallatin student.
