Nearly 10 percent of Czechs take their summer holidays in Croatia, and most of them fill their cars with groceries from home before they cross the border. So when Croatia banned the import of meat and dairy products last week, self-catering Czech travelers were incensed. But, says Guardian blogger Kevin Rushby, tourists who travel with BYO groceries are missing half the fun.
He writes: “Visitors should eat the food of the place they are visiting. Marco Polo’s account of China would hardly be what it is if he’d taken a 24-year supply of pizza with him, would it?”
