This year, we traveled around the world, getting high on gonads in the Arctic Circle, eating lamb in inner Mongolia, fishing on an exploding lake in the DR Congo, and even hanging out with Fidel Castro's former chef in Havana.
Even in this wondrous age of globalization, when we can get the exact same can of Coke and flash-frozen fast-food burger in almost any country with electricity, we sometimes find that we need to travel out of our little metropolitan bubble in order to find out what other people are eating around the world.And that we did.
Recently, we found out what happens when you're too fat to fly. For the delicious and fatty fulmars of the Faroe Islands, located between Norway and Iceland, it means having your head ripped off.
We learned the pros and cons on insect farming in Thailand, where slinging cricket protein can help you buy a car. We checked in with an arctic doomsday vault that could save our food future, because why not?
And just to round things out, we went back to Havana and hung out with Fidel Castro's former chef. For a guy who used to work for a dictator, he was pretty chill.But that barely even scratches the surface of where we went this year. Stay tuned for even more of these stories in 2015, if we've got any pages left in our passports.
