One of the best things about visiting another country is sampling the various dishes and styles of cuisine. Although food travels further than it used to with international flavourings being available in many countries on a more commercial basis, there is nothing like cuisine being cooked and served by the local inhabitants where it is guaranteed to be of a more authentic nature. Tenerife is an island that offers much by way of cuisine to add to its other wonderful features such as the sandy, white beaches and tropical climate. If you are planning on visiting Tenerife but are not expecting the cuisine to be anything beyond ordinary, you are in for a very pleasant surprise.
Is cheese is right up there with your favourite foods, you won’t be disappointed. Unless you’re not a fan of goat’s cheese, that is. Most cheese here is made of goat’s milk and therefore, most cheese, whether hard or soft, is of the goat variety. It does have that unique taste so be warned before ordering cheese form the menu. However, if you do like goat’s cheese, it is possibly the finest in the world.
Fish also enjoys prevalence on the typical Tenerife menu which is hardly surprising on an island. There is so much more variety than yuo9 could expect from home, however, and certainly more quality. You can find the expected, sardines and mackerels as well as the unexpected, blennies, breams and porgies.
European meat is also popular with the likes of poultry, beef and pork. Some pork dishes as well as goat and rabbit, have an individual flavour however, making it worth a try for European visitors.
Other foods worth trying to get the full sense of Tenerife cuisine include mojo, a fantastic variety of confectionery and wrinkly potatoes. Go on, give them a try.
