If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home. James A. Michener Fall has arrived, winter is around the corner and our thoughts turn to the holidays and food. What do you sit and ponder on a cold winter day? Travel, food, family? When you wake up on a Sunday morning and curl up with the newspaper and a warm beverage --- are ... Read Full Entry

yumm mee!
I think my salivary glands are activated! Sounds like you've found a way to channel all your travel energies...for now! Most interesting and enjoyable travel food for me? A fresh avacado straight off the tree in Mexico, something like a prickly potato but I don't recall the name, a fresh and simple meal of black beans, eggs and tortillas in a small village in the Sierra Madres, eating camel in Algeria. If there was more time...(and money)! I will have to share the guinea pig item with Darren - he'll probably say "there is finally a good use for them!" LOL Love, C

Great Blog Addition
Great opening quote!! We are right with you.....always talking and dreaming about our next trip. And, of course, the food, wine and beer are a huge part of each travel experience. The food and travel channels are favorites. Coincidently, we just got home from a short visit to Boston and the Finger Lakes area in NY state. Judging from your last blog we were in the New England area at about the same time you were. This is the second time our travels have almost crossed. We are destined to meet up somewhere someday.

live to eat as well
I like good food so I can't imagine a travel anywhere without experiencing local food. Food is prat of our life whether we like it or not so, why not enjoy it? I've always tried to at least taste local food in my travels - sometimes I liked it sometimes I didn't but this is the only way one can discover people, the world, new and exiting things: by trying! Nice pictures!

Thank you
Hey, at least you are willing to give these new foods a try. You don't have to like all of them!

Love it
As a culinary travel scholar this blog entry gives me hope that there will indeed be an audience for my work whenever I get around to publishing ;) The act of literally ingesting foreign culture with our senses has implications that leave me curious ever day, and nothing makes me more nostalgic for home that the flavors I grew up with. But where are all the food photos from Boston!? Don't forget some love for your hometown in your global food endeavors!

Bon appetit!
My most memorable experience with food while travelling: Eating curry off a banana leaf with my hand in India. Its one of those meals and one of those moments I could never re-create. Anastasia78
