Local eats question

If you knew that you are leaving your current area/country in less than a year, what local eats would you make sure to enjoy to the max because you couldn't get them elsewhere? Either obtain at all or at a decent price.

Sitting her munching on a couple dragon fruit. We have less than a year and I recently realized that there is a bunch of fruit that is considered normal here yet exotic (aka expensive) in the Stats. Trying to enjoy something at least once a week while I can. Yet now I'm wondering what else should I make sure to get in before we move. Then I wondered what the other INs would eat in their area.

Re: Local eats question

  • What I loved most in the UAE was really super fresh, warm pita bread. I could buy it at the supermarket basically straight from the oven. Yum!
  • Of course you can get Italian food worldwide, but the stereotype is true-- pizza and coffee are better in Naples specifically. And I'll miss them when we go.

    I'll particularly miss a porcini  dish I get at my local trattoria.  It's "just" porcini, pasta, and olive oil, so theoretically even I could re-created it.  I've tried, but it's just not the same.  I have no idea how they make such a simple dish taste so good!  Oh and I adore the owner-- who brings me out fresh truffles and grates them tableside as a garnish.  It's kind of fabulous :)!
