I'm willing to bet one of my little black dresses that if you love to travel then you are probably a foodie too. After all, one of the thrills of visiting a new place is sampling the regional cuisine. However when when you can't get to Spain for tapas or down South for grits, getting your favorite faraway foods shipped to you is a convenient way to satisfy a craving. Here are five food gifts that will make even the most sophisticated foodie smile.
