The World On A Plate

There's a delivery at your friend's (or colleague's or paramour's) door. You're whisking him or her off to an international destination, and he or she can say yes, oui, sì, ja without having to leave home—or you having to dig up your passport.

With a Try The World subscription, every two months your lucky recipient will discover the gift of gourmet, curated treats that make for an edible journey. Not only is there a delicious box of goods, but also suggestions for cleverly paired movies, recipes and playlists for hosting a worldly dinner party or a night in with a fellow adventurer (maybe you!).

Take advantage of a world-class special offer for Tasting Table readers: Sign someone up for the gift of a Japan box, and he or she will also receive the signature Paris box, brimming with chestnut cream and fleur de sel.

The focus country is always a delectable surprise, so your recipient will never know if the box holds brigadeiros or bonbons. This month, subscribers said konichiwa to a curated box of Japanese goods (think: soba noodles and seaweed snacks), but who knows where they're headed next.

It's like buying someone a trip on a private jet with anything but plane fare—and plenty of room to stretch out those wings.
