If you have ever been to the Flower and Garden Festival, at EPCOT, you will know immediately what I'm talking about. It is arguably the most beautiful time to visit as there is a plethora of stunning floral displays that come in all sizes. However, since food has been added (in a very much Food and Wine style) there has been temptations not just visually but also for the tastebuds. 

If like us, you are stuck miles and miles away and have no prospect of visiting, never mind... we can help! Show 37 takes you on a tour, country by country to 'virtually' taste the best there is to offer. This show will be released Sunday 22nd March 2015 and can be found on iTunes, Stitcher Radio or most other Podcast catching places.

First, let us help you with a map. Whilst there isn't a key, all you really need to know is the countries you will be visiting.

Final note, all prices on the show are kept in US dollars. We appreciate we have listeners from all over the world, hence kept it in one currency for this show.
