Seriously, I think a lot of North Americans travel in part for the opportunity to try out the cuisines they enjoy at home prepared and served in their native venues as we do.
When we spent a month in an apartment in Menton, France, one of the things we noticed was the general lack of restaurant cuisines other than French and Italian, compared to what we'd find in towns much smaller in
some parts of the U.S. and Canada. Still, it's rare to find something as simple as a baguette here as good as you can find at any boulangerie in France.
For us, travel is broadening in more ways than one.
