An fun part of travel is being able to enjoy different cuisines. And that is why this documentary is ideal. It starts in Asia, with Thailand offering its famous Tom Yum and Thai Curry; while, in Japan, of course, it is Sashimi. On to Delhi and your guess is right — potato chaat it is, with seekh kebab and chole bhature following close. From Asia to Latin America, for a taste of tortolla de papas in Argentina, tamales in Colombia, and more exotic dishes along the way. You get to see the more popular places, the carts, the stalls and the markets. This is a chance to immerse yourself in the sounds and sights, and pretend you are there.
