A big reason many people travel is for the food. How far do you go when trying new and unfamiliar foods when in a new place?

Week 2 theme: On the road again
Details: See below
There is one guiding question/prompt each day, followed by a series of questions, ideas, and comments meant to help you dig deeper. These aren’t meant to be answered directly, just to help (feel free to address any, all, or none of the guiding questions below).
What is the strangest food you’ve eaten during your travels?
- Would you eat it again?
- Do you have any photos or videos of you eating this food?
- What do you do if offered controversial foods (like shark fin soup, or anything endangered) or food you don’t normally eat (like meat if you are vegetarian).
- Have you ever felt guilty about eating a food?
Tools and inspiration: Each day we’ll add a few links having to do with that day’s topic. If you’re experiencing a creativity block, maybe these can give you a few ideas:
