The Guardian has had the hard task of tracking down the best foods from around the world and where to eat them. With the help of some the country's best known chefs such as Richard Corrigan, Jason Atherton, Atul Kochhar and Michel Roux Jnr the list covers everything from the place to eat oysters, Filipino cuisine, currys, octopus and kebabs.
Richard Corrigan says of oysters from Strangfor Lough, Northern Ireland are worth dying for: "If I were to die tomorrow, I'd walk to Strangford, get a couple of bottles of really cold Chablis, and eat as many Strangford Lough oysters as I could. Then I'd die very happily indeed"
And if you want to tuck into the ultimate fast-food meal of a humburger then the Little Owl, New York is the place to be. "This sandwich is so copiously juicy, so rich with precious bodily fluids," says Josh Ozersky, author of The Hamburger: A History, "that it practically haemorrhages onto the plate.
And if you have a sweet tooth, then check out Pierre Herme, Paris who is described as a "chocolate god" and then head off to Corrado Costanzo, Noto, Sicily for a spot of ice-cream, "Sicily is still the best place for frozen treats in gelato-crazed Italy, and Italian ice cream, as everybody knows, is the finest in the world."
If that doesn't tickle your taste buds, let alone reignite the travel bug I don't know what will!
