If we haven’t already convinced you to take one of our food tours, look no further!
Here’s a story about the power of food tours from LdnOnt Food Tour’s founder, Nancy Clark:
“These are mushrooms that my husband Dan and I had on a food tour in Madrid. They look delicious, but do they look life changing?
I remember everything about this moment on our food tour when we were served these mushrooms. It was December 2016. Dan and I were newlyweds and he was interviewing for a job in Madrid, which I never believed he would take. I mostly hated Spain for the first couple of days we were there. The Spanish weren't overly friendly, my language skills weren't keeping up, and the city seemed SO BIG. But then Dan and I went on a food tour, like we always do in a new city. The tour guide was an American like me. She was so happy with her decision to move to Madrid, it was hard for her enthusiasm to not be contagious. When I asked what she loved so much, she said it was that the Spanish know how to slow down and use all of their senses. If I truly wanted to know what it was like to savor life, move to Spain.
I sat there in a white cellar-like room with bizarre foam mushrooms on the wall. It smelled like hot oil and beer. There was an accordian player playing "Wild Thing" with a keyboardist accompaning him, even though the room was already very loud. The mushrooms were boiling hot, but possibly the most delicious thing I had ever eaten.
We decided to move to Spain that night. Food can change your life.”
