Where to Start
Some of the best variety of experiences can be found in Kingston, Jamaica's Coronation Market, which has come to be known as the "Stomach of Jamaica." Visitors to the island's capital city should be sure to sample the jerk chicken and peppered shrimp.
London's Borough Market, The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, and Beijing, China's Wangfujing Snack Street also stand out for their unique mix of styles and flavors. For the hungry and bold, the latter is home to deep-fried scorpions on sticks.
Amsterdam's Albert Cuypstraat is yet another diverse market boasting a must-try local staple in patat fries.
