Summary/Abstract: Culinary reportages are a subgenre of travel reportages which so far has not been extensively examined. They are informative and, at the same time, persuasive texts addressed to a large variety of readers potentially interested in visiting other parts of the world. The following paper investigates selected texts excerpted from the travel magazine “National Geographic Traveler Polska” (October, 2016), which concentrate on one common main theme, namely the traditional food of ten different European, Asian, South American and African countries. The main focus of the study is on analyzing the most common mechanisms of nomination used to describe the names of dishes, beverages and foodstuffs and the functions they may play in the text.
