Around the World in 80 Bites! 7 International Dishes to Try This Weekend

How do you make culinary history interesting to someone who prefers mashed potato sculpture? There are a few ways. Try making a weekly tradition of it such as world food Wednesday. Introduce a new international dish on the same day every week so the kids know to look forward to it. Another great idea is to make it a game. Blindfold each person and have them take a bite of the dish and guess which part of the world it came from. Lastly, post a world map in the dining room and put a pin in each far-flung location your meals were inspired by that week. Kids will love seeing just how many miles their taste buds have logged, and get excited as the map fills up. To help in your education, check out these 7 delicious dishes from around the world!
