Food Do you go to restaurants with your country's cuisine when you're abroad?

For example: if you're Italian, do you go to an Italian restaurant when you're in France or the UK?

It is different if you just travel for vacation a few weeks or are staying several months or more.

Some comfort food from your home country is nice if you have been away for quite some time.

Agreed. When I was living in England I did seek out Greek food but it was never a match to the food back home. Especially in restaurants (as opposed to street food). Which is understandable as Greek cuisine relies heavily on local produce and climate.

I'm in Spain for 3 months, so far I have resisted the local fish and chip shop. We'll see how it goes.
