The salmon turned out very very yummy. Flaky, moist, flavorful, and freaking easy to make! Foil packets for the win!

So, what else tastes like chicken?

Debatably the Most Delicious 11 (UNESCO-Awarded!) Foodie Destinations in the World

If you thought UNESCO was limited to only man-made and natural structures, think again.

For many travelers, the ultimate travel bucket list would involve more than a handful of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. As of 2021, more than 1,121 monuments are listed as UNESCO sites and scattered over 167 countries, with Italy and China having the most sites at 55. But if you thought UNESCO sites were only limited to physical structures (both man-made and natural), you will be surprised to find out that UNESCO also has a list that celebrates worldly cultures. Known as the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, the catalog celebrates traditions and “living expressions” passed down from ancestors, including everything from performing arts like tango in Argentina to rituals like the midsummer celebrations in Finland.

These acts or customs are considered fragile heritage practices that should be safeguarded. Cultural identities are heavily rooted in all the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List awardees, and often include experiences or cuisine many travelers seek out when traveling abroad. Earlier this year, the Italian Agriculture Minister confirmed a request for their Italian espresso to be added to the list. Bellissimo! As a self-professed foodie, I hold both my Asian and Western culinary roots close to my heart and celebrate them daily with friends and family— whether it is eating a Spring Festival dinner to celebrate the Lunar New Year or lazing down on a beach and having a traditional Aussie BBQ, which has yet to be added to the list.

With 25 food-focused UNESCO-approved food cultures already on the list, here are my favorites. With COVID-19 putting a slight halt on many travel plans for the last couple of years, what better way to move through a new travel bucket list that breaks away from visiting overtouristed sites. Here are just 11 of our favorite UNESCO Intangible Cultural inductees that allow armchair travelers to indulge. Where would you start?
