5. Specialty Ingredients: Find out if there are any specific ingredients or spices that your grandpa loves to work with when cooking different cuisines.

Consider gifting him a set of unique spices from around the world or some specialty ingredients that he may not be able to find easily.

6. Restaurant Gift Cards: Surprise your grandpa with gift cards to local restaurants that serve cuisines he loves. Research and choose restaurants that are known for their authentic dishes or unique fusion cuisines. This way, he can enjoy dining out and exploring new flavors whenever he likes.
