Previous image was deleted as it was not my own - Credit to https://www.ketogenicsupplementreviews.com/ (this company is not related to our blog)I was asked today what my favourite cuisine was and funnily enough this is not a question I get asked all that regularly, nor is it a question for which I had an instant answer. I like a lot of foods and more generally, I like lots of food! I thought about it for a while and decided that the best way to come to a conclusion would be to think about what my favourite dishes are…okay…Spaghetti Bolognese (Italian), Dim Sum (Chinese), Pad Thai (Thai), Sashimi (Japanese), BBQ Ribs (American), Sunday Roast (English), Goan Fish Curry (Indian)…this is by no means a list that contains all of my favourite dishes, but they are a selection of the first few that came to my mind and made my little theory of using my favourite dishes to answer the question suddenly seem pretty useless! Like I said, I like food!
Clearly I had to approach this little conundrum from another angle…so I posed myself another question, if I had to eat one thing for every meal for the rest of my life what would it be?! The answer to this question came almost instantly…salmon! Okay, second part of the question…how would I prepare the salmon?! Sashimi (Japanese)…no wait en croûte (French)…oh but I love blackened (Cajun)…but I couldn’t live without smoked (Norwegian/Scottish/Canadian)! This was clearly another completely futile line of thinking. So I concluded, maybe I don’t have a favourite cuisine overall! I have favourite dishes from different cuisines and I have a favourite food that I like cooked a range of ways from a lot of different culture’s cuisines but I don’t think I can categorically say that I have a favourite cuisine exclusively! Is that weird? Maybe I am just too indecisive or too flaky to make such and rash commitment. Maybe I have tried so many things in so many places that the choice is just too hard to limit so severely. Or maybe, just maybe, I like food just a little bit too much and I am a dedicated glutton who couldn’t possibly restrict myself to just one option when it comes to the culinary smörgåsbord (see…there’s another one, Swedish) that is the world’s offering of stomach filling delights! But I’m still willing to pose the question to you…what’

We, like many people, believe that food is one of the best ways to really get to know a culture and it's people, as so much about the way people live their lives around the world is centred around food. This means that when we travel we actively seek out the local foods and delicacies. Sometimes that comes in the form of unusual and exotic produce from markets and sometimes from street food vendors serving an array of barbecued, fried, steamed or entirely indistinguishable goodies. Having tried and tested these goodies for some time now, on our adventures around Asia, Europe, North and South America we have discovered some pretty wonderful treats that we have decided should earn a bit of publicity. So, as the working week drifts away and the weekend winks at you like a naughty temptress we will share with you one of the delights that we have encountered from around the world! We hope you enjoy reading about these as much as we enjoyed eating them! Archives
