  FOOD WALK : A food walk is a type of culinary experience that involves exploring a neighborhood or city while sampling local cuisine. It is a popular activity for tourists and locals alike who want to discover new flavors, learn about different cultures, and experience the community's food scene. A food walk typically involves a guided tour led by a local expert who takes participants to various restaurants, cafes, and food vendors in the area. Participants get to try a variety of foods and learn about the ingredients, cooking methods, and cultural significance of each dish. Food walks can be a fun and educational way to connect with the local community and experience the city's culinary diversity. It is interesting to see how much we have changed —the way we live, farm, and cook and eat. But we still love to eat many of the dishes that have been part of our cuisine for centuries.
