I absolutely love everything about this post. I adore traveling not only for the amazing sights I get to see, but also for all the food I get to try. This post spoke to me because it’s popular food from all different regions, so its fun to try and make them, taste them, and just play around with other recipes. I think this was a great post to give a wide range of different foods, and it will be extremely fun to test all of these out for a fourth of July cookout!
