We happen to talk about food in the chat room quite often... Food is our daily business because we need to eat! Wouldn't it be great to have a special thread with recipies or at least recommendations about where to eat what. Some great food I had: Thailand: Tom Yang Gung, Tom Ka Gai Nepal: Daal Bhat China: pecking duck, dumplings, hot pots, dim sum Italy: tajarin, brasato al barolo, coniglio France: Foie Gras, choucroute, entrecote, cassolet Spain: Paella US: jambalaya, burgers Belgium: Mussels and French fries... and Beer Ireland: Irish stew England: sunday roast and yorkshire pudding :-( just kidding hehehe, actually when considering dining out I'd rather go to London than Paris! What are your favourites.... Martin --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

Here are a few of mine: US Midwest: Barbecue, Toasted Ravioli (St. Louis), Bratwurst Mexico: Chiles Rellenos, Carne Asada Peru: Anticuchos Venezuela: Pabellon Criolla, Cachapas, Arepa US Northwest: Salmon (smoked over an alder flame) Cuba: Bistek con frijoles negros, yuca con ajo Spain: Paella At least, these are some of my favorites. There are many others from other countries that I have tried, but I will give this more thought. Russ --- "Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people.

I usually find my favorite food where ever I go (cities) but always enjoy tasting the local food in the country I am. Usually on a low budget, my general rule for travelling (mentioned in my reports) is to eat where and how the inhabitants eat, in the back streets. Thats part of the adventure! My ideal weekly diner menu, balanced with a lot of vegitables, fruit and wine: 1) steak, like in Texas and Argentina 2)"adobo" (stew), "luchion" (pork) & "lumpia" ( Philippines 3) Calamari & Prawns, best in Italy in plate or on oven Pizza 4) Curry Stew & "samusas" (regularly here Ravi!) like in Durban 5) Grilled sardines chilli and "Baxieu" like in Portugal and Mozambique 6) "Schweinshaxe" (grilled pork-knuckl) or "Hendl" like in Munich 7) "Gulash" like in Hungary (pun!) I endulge beyond limits while travelling but do eat vegitarian at least once a week to balance the above, peppered tomato & cheese sandwidches or a huge salad are great too. Pre-arranged "Brotzeit" / "baon" / "padkos" naturally always when travelling... --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   mortimer Premium account Joined: Jun 04 Points: 15075 Posts: 528 Posted: 2004-10-19 17:03:00    Hi Rudi Quote: You're getting a big eater quite hungry here!

End Quote When reading this bit of your statement it reminded my of a recomonndation my doctor once gave me: Theres no problem buying food on the street or in small back streets restaruants just look for a place where local middle class people also shop (Police, Office staff ... i.E.) there quality should be ok (freshness, hygiene...) And there's the old traveller rule: Peel it, Cook it or leave it... Martin [ This Message was edited by: mortimer on 2004-10-19 17:04 ] --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

Hokkien Mee, Wan Than Mee, Curry Mee, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Kandar, Fried Oyster, Fried Kuey Teow, Loh Bak, Pasembur, Mee Goreng, Mee Rebus..... I don't think I can list everything here!
