Travelers bring a lot of things back with them, but one of the most lasting memories is often the smells and tastes of the food we’ve eaten. Walking into a restaurant at home can often transport you back to a faraway trip, and a simple dish can hold a multitude of associations. Whether food from around the world reminds you of the people you dined with, the places you traveled, or the just the new tastes you experienced, we want to hear your exotic food stories on this week’s #PassionPassport Twitter Chat.

Join us at 2pm EST on Thursday, May 21st, along with co-hosts @ActPlanetTravel and @TravelingEditor as we chat about all things food. Get your photos ready, because we want to see the best, scariest, and most surprising foods you’ve encountered on your travels.

If you will be unavailable during the chat time but would still like to participate, please schedule your tweets according to the times listed below.
