FOOD+DRINK Kent World Gourmet KENT IS AN EXCITING PLACE TO LIVE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A FOODIE. WE HAVE A PLETHORA OF AMAZING RESTAURANTS OFFERING DELICIOUS, FRESHLY PREPARED, OFTEN LOCALLY SOURCED DISHES THAT MAKE OUR TASTE BUDS HAPPY. WHAT’S REALLY SPECIAL ABOUT KENT IS THE NUMBER OF WORLD CUISINES WE HAVE ON OUR DOORSTEP. FROM INDIA TO MEXICO, FROM NEPAL TO FRANCE, FROM TURKEY TO AMERICA (AND MANY OTHERS TOO) WE CAN TRY FLAVOURS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE OUR OWN FANTASTIC COUNTY. Trying new foods is something that we should all do when possible for a variety of wonderful reasons. For one thing, it means we get to expand our experience of great food, finding new flavours and ingredients that we may not have tried before. It also sets a great example for children who may be fairly fussy eaters; if they see someone they look up to trying something for the first time, they might be persuaded to do the same. It can also lead to more cooking being done at home which is a skill that is so useful and comes easily with enough practice. So if you’re keen to expand your foodie horizons and see what the rest of the world has to offer, here are some of the very best Kentish restaurants that will offer you exactly that. 91
