Food to Experience in Southwest US Culinary Trips
Enjoying a Culinary tour through the US Southwest is not a vacation for the faint of heart. The Southwest is abundant with culinary style that is as simple to prepare as it is flavorful – as full of hot ingredients as it is filled with the healthiest of vegetables. If you’re looking for a culinary tour in the US Southwest, don’t expect to stop in a big Mexican restaurant with thousands of fillings for chimichangas. In fact, don’t take the Southwest and put it all under one blanket, because you are in for a gustatory awakening.
Southwest cuisine can actually be summarized up into hybrids of different cuisines. Border cuisine, sometimes playfully referred to as South of the Border, might be more toward your local Mexican restaurant fare, with some burritos flavored mildly to suit a wider range of tastes. You also have Tex-Mex cuisine, a blend of Texan and Mexican, heavy on the meats and spices. There is also the fresh, corn-rich American Indian cuisine, the richer and hotter Mexican offerings, and even nueva Latina, a new version of Southwestern cuisine that is springing up in various places across the Southwestern states.
If you are traveling on a Southwestern Food trip, then you’ll surely pass by the Lone Star State, and get a hankering for huge Texan meats and steaks. You’ll go through Kansas, where you can sink your teeth into wonderful corn breads and products. Nothing beats a Kansas vacations. You will traverse Southern California and the Baja, where the burritos are spicy and the tamales are even hotter. You will discover yourself in New Mexico and Colorado, even parts of Oklahoma, and you’ll find yourself some American Indian cuisine that is as old as the hills but plenty flavorful, as well!
It is no wonder, then, that the Southwest is traditionally seen as the grandfater of all American cuisine, encompasing the roots of its indigenous cooking. Think about it: even before Jamestown and Plymouth Rock got their first taste of Europe, a whole lot of food was already cooking in these parts! A food tour through the Southwestern United States, therefore, is a trip through history, where you can actually taste the meals that have been around from times past, and are testaments to tales long past but never forgotten.
So what should you discover? Look for blue, purple, or even red corn, all of which can be made into different tasty tortillas, among other things. You will also get a whole lot of hot, so go for fire-roasted chilies, and various chili dishes that will make your mouth water constantly (and your eyes tear up, too!). You’ll find meat smoked with mesquite, scenting the air with flavorful aromas. Whether you’re drinking it all down with a bottle of South of the Border Tecate, or a glass of European wine, you’ll surely find something to look forward to in the US Southwest.
If you are taking a trip to the US Southwest on a food tour, there are a few things that you will need to remember. First, since many of the dishes are hot, you may need to check if you have any palate or health concerns with spicy foods. For instance, if you have irritable bowel syndrome, then you may want to ease up on the chilies. You will also want to consult with your tour group if the tour covers only the lodging and transportation, while you have to pick up the tab when you stop for food. Don’t forget to examine the fine print and ask questions. Take the necessary precautions, and you can manager your Southwest US Culinary tour into a fantastic getaway.
