CROATIA FOR FRESH FISH AND FINE WINES lime pie. Plump prawns in a Deep South jambalaya. Chicago (left) deep-dish pizza. And once that’s digested, there’s a banquet of global goodies, from Chinese dumplings in Manhattan to sushi in LA. One thing’s certain: you don’t visit the USA to lose weight. One of the best ways to dig in is on a factory tour — Ben & Jerry’s in Vermont, say, or a Tabasco hot sauce experience in Louisiana. Why not rev up for a widescreen road trip, east to west, and experience the full pan-American. 5 6 USA FOR CANDIES AND CHINESE San Francisco sourdough. Miami key Study Croatia on a map and you’ll understand why the food is so tasty and varied. There’s Italy to the west, Austria and Hungary to the north, and that long, crinkly coastline, abundant with fish and seafood. Istria, in the north of the country, is redolent with Italian flavours, from truffles to exquisite extra-virgin olive oils. And the Dalmatian coast is a full-on feast, where menus range from prsut (prosciutto) to baked octopus (left), tomatoey pasta and glittery sea bass. Pair with a refreshing Croatian white or rosé and relax.

FOR VINDALOOS AND VEGGIES
Niagara Falls
Thought you knew Indian food? It’s so much more varied than the fare your high-street tandoori serves. Chicken tikka? Absent on the sub-continent. Instead loosen your waistband for delicious dosas (lentil and rice crêpes), idli (steamed lentil cakes) and moreish pizza-pancake-like uttapams. That’s all in the vegetarian-friendly south. Travel west to the Arabian Sea shores for Goa, where Portuguese influence means vindaloo and juicy prawn curries. If there’s time to head further north — to Delhi or the palaces of Rajasthan — the food is meaty, curried and hot, although vegetarians certainly won’t go hungry.
