“You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there.” – Maya Angelou
My mention of our trip to New Orleans brought a lot of comments about trying the beignets there. Which reminded me that in addition to my favorite word associations, I also have food and drink associations for cities. Here are some:
Bagels in New York City
Pizza in Chicago
Baked beans in Boston
Rocky Mountain oysters in Denver
Irish coffee in San Francisco
Key lime pie in Key West
Arroz con pollo in Quito
Coca tea in Cusco
Momos in Kathmandu
Fish and chips in London
Prosecco in Venice
I’m curious if these match yours or what other ones you have. Tell me what’s good in the places you frequent!
P.S. for Mark from Mark My Words, I know I should put Cheese in Wisconsin – but I’ve never been to Wisconsin…yet).
