Drink only Water for a WeekDrinking only water for a week can be a useful audit of beverages, provided “only” describes the drinks and not a seven-day fast. Continue eating normal, varied meals: food suppli…

Drive a tankClimb into the driver’s position of a tracked armoured vehicle and find out how different it feels from anything built for ordinary roads. Tanks and similar military vehicles are…

Eat a black egg in Owakudani, JapanSteam rises from the volcanic valley and a boiled egg emerges with a charcoal-black shell, although the white and yolk inside look reassuringly ordinary. Owakudani's kuro-tamago t…
Eat a Cornish pasty in CornwallEating a Cornish pasty in Cornwall connects a warm, practical lunch with the place whose bakers and communities established its identity. The protected name applies to a D-shaped…
Eat a deep fried mars bar in ScotlandThe batter cracks, warm chocolate and caramel soften inside, and a familiar sweet becomes something much richer than its wrapper suggests. Eating a deep-fried Mars bar in Scotland…

Eat a Tequila WormTip the last splash from the bottle and there it is: the infamous “tequila worm”, soaked in spirit and waiting at the bottom. Getting it out is usually the hardest part; eating it…
Eat a tomahawk steakA tomahawk steak arrives with its long rib bone still attached, turning a thick rib-eye into a dramatic centrepiece. Beneath the presentation, the experience depends on familiar q…
Eat a traditional kebab in TurkeySit down somewhere in Turkey and eat kebab as part of the cuisine it actually comes from, rather than treating the word as shorthand for one takeaway dish. Turkish kebabs cover a…

Eat Ahi PokeA bowl of ahi poke brings together cool cubes of tuna, sea salt, seaweed and seasoning in a form that feels simple because every ingredient is exposed. In Hawai‘i, poke means cut…
Eat AlligatorA plate of alligator can be less theatrical than its name suggests: pale, firm meat served as crisp bites, blackened tail or a slow-cooked component of a Louisiana dish. The flavo…
Eat Alone at a Restaurant“Table for one” is a small sentence with a liberating effect. Once the menu opens and the first drink arrives, a restaurant stops being a place you must enter with company and bec…
Eat AlpacaGrilled alpaca arrives looking more like a lean steak than an exotic spectacle, with a close grain and a mild flavour that responds well to smoke, herbs and careful cooking. Acros…
Eat an authentic hotpot in AsiaSteam gathers above a pot set into the table as broth bubbles around mushrooms, greens, tofu and slices added a few at a time. Hotpot makes cooking part of the meal and the table…
Eat an InsectA roasted cricket or mealworm is often smaller and more familiar in flavour than the anticipation surrounding it: crisp, savoury and shaped by salt or spice. Eating an insect can…
Eat AntsAnts can contribute far more than shock value: some bring a citrus note, others a roasted crunch or the richness of a winged queen prepared in season. In Colombia, hormigas culona…
