In January, the Germans celebrate their domestic-grown apples whilst Indians get to let off the firecrackers and pay homage to Undhiyu, a delicious vegetarian-friendly dish that is a speciality of Gujarat. In total, January has over fifteen internationally, nationally and locally recognised food days, but that number is just a fraction compared to the other eleven months of the year.
Take February, for example. This month started with National Tater Tot Day, featured Ice Cream for Breakfast Day (our absolute favourite) and typically ends with National Chocolate Soufflé Day on the 29th.

Located in the middle of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, Landmannalaugar is highly regarded for its picturesque views of the Icelandic Highlands, its proximity to the famous Laugahraun lava fields and the geothermal hot springs. It is home to waterfalls that unleash a thundering torrent of water, plunging fjords and geysers that eject towers of steam high into the air.
It is extremely hilly, an absolute pain to get to and very remote. The nearest settlement of note is Fludir, a tiny village home to just four-hundred people, is two hours away – on a good day.

The banana is one of the most popular and most-exported fruits in the world. However, despite it being a favourite everywhere from Britain to Japan, there is a real threat that the banana as we know it may be facing extinction.
