I prefer to eat the food that I used it, because the food in other countries may not be suitable for our culture or our religion, might not be cleaned and cause problems for the digestive system, better eat snacks or search for an Arab restaurants because it is suitable for me .

I will give you my honest opinion , Actually I really like to taste foreign dishes and when I travel any new place I always taste their local items as long as it goes with my religion. 

By taking local food you can experiences  different tastes .

Certainly prefer the local food as it reflects an essence of a country, region, its culture and people.

I prefer looking up and reading about the local cuisine and specialities before planning to trip to ensure there's enough time to enjoy it.

.When visiting a foreign land, follow the customs of those who live in it. It can also mean that when you are in an unfamiliar situation, you should follow the lead of those who know the ropes.

During the early days I would go for the food I'm used to, then compliment my meals with their local food as days progress. Bear in mind that the food I am used to now was once new to me at some point. Besides, the locals eat the food, ihow bad can it be.
