CARIBBEAN CUISINE QUEEN Puerto Rico has become known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean in recent years. Besides traditional creole dishes such as mofongo, spit-roast pork, and fried plantains, it now offers food-lovers everything from roadside kiosk fare to gourmet restaurants serving Nuevo Latino cuisine.

Or join 60,000 fellow craft beer fans for the four-day Oregon Brewers Festival in Portland in July, featuring more than 100 Oregon craft beers and ciders. FOODIE ROAD TRIP Hit the road for a culinary journey around Mesa, Arizona, on the city’s new Fresh Foodie Trail. Pit stops include sampling home- made ice cream on a dairy farm, joining pasta and pizza making classes using ancient grains in a flour mill and tasting extra virgin olive oil after watching olives being cold-pressed. CHOWING DOWN A new festival each September in locations around Asheville, North Carolina, Chow Chow brings together celebrated local chefs, artisan food producers, brewers, winemakers and distillers to showcase its vibrant culinary scene. Events include Pickled in the Park grand tastings, food truck rodeos and hands-on workshops. More than 500 gallons of chowder are served up for June’s annual CHOWDER FESTIVAL IN PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE , which kicks off the city’s summer-long PRESCOTT PARK ARTS FESTIVAL . It is one of New England’s largest chowder-tasting events. It sounds unappetising but vinegar pie is a traditional WEST VIRGINIA dessert based on cider vinegar that tastes like apple pie. It came about in the 19th century because fresh produce was scarce in the early days of the pioneers.
