Croatia is full of incredible gastronomic experiences
Food illuminates people’s way of life, cultural values, and perspectives on life. It has a way of bringing people together! But how it can be so powerful? If you think about it there are 5 senses used when tasting food and drink. First, you’ll look at it with eyes, then you smell it, touch it and taste it…and you’ll listen to it, right! Whenever we interact with food, our senses are awakened – which means that experiencing food while you’re traveling will increase the intensity of the memories built. How beautiful is that!
Local Cuisine gives people an identity – recipes and cooking techniques are passed down from generation to generation. It’s an insight into history, we learn traditions and societal norms. Lastly, it’s a great opportunity to learn another language – different ways of sayings to open a meal and thanks for it to your host. Knowing local phrases will not only help you immerse in the culture and build quite a hefty vocabulary and locals will certainly appreciate it. It’s moments when we interact with people that we remember the most, once we get around the table with newly formed friends, have an open conversation, and share food & good wine!
