In the British Virgin Islands, Anegada and its lobster festival

But it seems that few have ever heard of Anegada. Which is a shame because it has so much to recommend it. read post

This is a good question. The food is usually not a big part of traveling for me (although I love desserts!), but years ago we had mushroom soup in a local cafe in Padua, near Venice. I make mushroom soup with cream, but this one just had mushrooms, and more kinds of mushrooms than I had ever imagined. The soup was served in the shell of a round loaf of bread, and later we ate the bread until we were stuffed. This was the best soup I have ever eaten, and I would return to Padua for it.
Tequila Tasting session with Chef Oscar in the Riviera Maya.
Member Melissa Solin writes in her blog post on her trip Cairo that her favorite experience was the traditional Egyptian meal. In a country with pyramids, ruins, museums, and fascinating culture, that's a pretty strong statement (must've been one heck of a meal!).
How "big" a part of the travel experience is the cuisine for you? Have you ever found yourself planning a trip because you yearn for Italian gelato? Or the most authentic pad thai?
There's no shame, we all love food in this group, let's 'fess up!
