Be transported to the centuries-old fishing community of Klädesholmen, the “herring capital” of Sweden, to experience inlagd sill (pickled herring); queue at a street-food shack in Delhi for a bowl of comforting mung tarka dhal; and wander the markets of Mexico for a taste of Alegría – cheerful bars made of honey and amaranth, and a mainstay of Mexican snacking.
