When returning to the village you have to enjoy its typical food, in the typical places, it is a way to remember old times. I would do the same as you!

When you go to the rural side, the experience is to try everything, one has to be careful depending on who goes, I imagine that for a foreigner like me it would not be wise to try everything, but I would not be lacking in desire. However I support your opinion about the cultural experience behind it.
