You don’t have to call yourself a “foodie” to enjoy yummy cuisines when traveling the world, writes psychologist Dr. Nicola Cann for the UK’s Travel Psychologist newsletter. Extolling the benefits of local dining, she explains that “certain dishes and flavours bring back evocative memories of a particular destination,” because they “are so innately linked to that place’s culture, geography, heritage and customs.”
Do you prioritize dining experiences every time you travel overseas? Dr. Cann asks you to figure out which of her classifications you most identify with. Would you categorize yourself as a Gastronaut (major fan of local eateries), Novelty Seeker (always up for new culinary tastes), Familiarity Foodie (you return to the same places repeatedly), or a Culture Vulture, someone who so closely equates foods with cultures, a single aroma is all it takes to trigger a memory? Folks from all these categories flock to Belize where the culinary scene thrives.
Belize’s Placencia Peninsula delights every style of eater
Don’t go looking for McDonald’s or Burger King during your Belize visit because these chains don’t exist there. Instead, discover a melting post of diversity that borrows from Maya, Garifuna, Creole, Mestizo, Mexican, and even Chinese styles of cookery. There is variety in every bite taken during what visitors are surprised to discover is a world-class culinary haven.
To what do chefs, restaurants, food vendors, and other members of the Belize food community owe this bounty? They all share a passion for fresh, local, delicious ingredients, hallmarks of Belize’s unique dining experience. While the nation takes pride in its growing reputation as a culinary hub, discriminating diners flock to the Placencia Peninsula where proximity to farms, markets, fisheries, and other food-related enterprises are headquartered.
