Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) - Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog One of the best parts about traveling to a new city is trying the new cuisine – no surprise there. But sometimes finding that iconic meal from a particular city can be challenging. Everyone’s got their own recommendation on what to eat and where to find it.
But that’s part of the charm of being a “culinary tourist.” Below are some of my favorite local dishes from 14 different cities from around the world, collected in partnership with a flight search engine and UK-based illustrator Edward McGowan. Meat and Potatoes:Iconic Food Dishes from 14 Cities Around the World Meat and potato dishes are a popular combination in many cuisines for several reasons. Flavor Complementarity: Meat and potatoes often have complementary flavors.
The savory, umami-rich taste of meat pairs well with the mild, starchy flavor of potatoes. The natural sweetness of certain types of meat, such as pork or beef, can also balance the neutral taste of potatoes. Texture Contrast: Meat and potatoes offer a pleasing contrast in textures.
Meat can be tender and juicy, while potatoes can be creamy, crispy, or have a slightly firm texture, depending on how they’re prepared. This textural interplay adds to the overall dining experience. Versatility: Both meat and potatoes are incredibly versatile ingredients.
You can prepare them in numerous ways, such as roasting, grilling, frying, boiling, or baking. This versatility allows for a wide range of dishes, from stews and casseroles to steaks with mashed potatoes. Satiety: The combination of meat and potatoes tends to be filling and satisfying due to their nutrient density.

Despite fears for the future of film in the new, seemingly disposable digital era, there are still many auteurs holding on out there in the modern movie landscape. For example, there’s Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan and even Michael Bay (for, as director Tarsem said of the latter’s work, “You may not like it, but you know who made it”). But few directors are as instantly recognizable as Wes Anderson. Nothing happens by accident in a Wes Anderson movie: the camera moves are perfectly choreographed — sideways tracking shots are a specialty — and the sets don’t even begin to aim for realism. Clothes are tailored, hair and makeup is scrutinized all the way down to lipstick and nail polish, and music is key, creating a subtle, sometimes melancholy and always wholly effective emotional backdrop.
