Abstract
This study examined American travelers’ experiences of what they consider as exotic foods at foreign destinations. Utilizing in-depth personal interviews of 40 American travelers, this research provides a first-hand account of what the experience of trying unfamiliar foods at foreign destinations are like. Three major themes of social interaction, cognition, and emotion and their sub-themes were identified to explain how travelers frame their local food consumption experience when travelling to an international destination.
