"I’ve done food tours before, but... Every bite came with a story — why people eat it, where it comes from, what it means today. Street snacks, homemade dishes, weird little candies from the supermarket shelf… nothing felt random. By the end I wasn’t just full, I actually understood Panama a bit better, just from what was on the table."
...This was the first time I felt like I was taking a short course in a country’s history while eating...
