In the British Virgin Islands, Anegada and its lobster festival

Victor Block Most travelers have heard of the U.S. Virgin Islands; some of the British Virgin Islands. Those familiar with the BVI usually know Tortola, and maybe even Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke. But it seems that few have ever heard of Anegada. Which is a shame because it has so much to recommend it. read post

Hawaii makes chocolate - and it´s delicious!

Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory When you come to the Aloha State, go beyond the mai tais and and enjoy some divine, locally grown chocolate! The Hawaiian islands are home a number of chocolate-making companies, and most are bean-to-bar businesses. Hawaii is the only U.S. state which grows cacao, then processes and makes it into bars and other cocoa products. I've done my share of eating chocolates on the different islands, and I find the chocolate confections not overly sweet and…

Its cuisine is cited as one of "5 Reasons Why Colombia Is Among the World´s most Appealing Destinations"

Pierrick Lemaret,Colombia's location and varied environments - from coastal to mountain to rainforest to rolling plains - as well as ethnic heritage including pre-columbian, Spanish, and African, give the country's cuisine a flavourful depth indeed. That includes ingredients that might be unfamiliar to visitors, such as the fruits arazá, dragon fruit, lulo (aka naranjilla), passionfruit, and soursop, as well as fish like the freshwater bocachico and gamitama (related to the piranha).Some of the…

Darryl, thank you! I enjoyed your story very much. The way you describe downtown PV - can't wait to get there. Now I'm also prepared for Mexican customs control. Good to know!
Smiles!

Emma, try to get to El Set. about half an hour before sunset for a great meal and a spectacular sunset. It's located about a mile south of town on Playa Conchas Chinas, in between the Lindomar and Hotel Conchas Chinas properties. Check out my old Puerto Vallarta report at http://tinyurl.com/yerxbf2

Also, Cenederia Ene is a good spot for cheap eats downtown.

Please advice on great little restaurant(s) in Puerto Vallarta. I'll be in town for only one full day, working on an article and am looking for something to wow my readers. Gracias to more experienced travelers who don't mind sharing!

I agree, the guidebooks generally are no help when it comes to food. We give our travelers detailed info on the food where they're going and restaurant recommendations. Frequent question I get: Is it possible to have a bad meal in Barcelona? To which I always answer, Yes! Unfortunately.

Next to where I'm staying in Cuenca, Ecuador is Sakura Sushi. It's everywhere.

Most of traditional guide books write about food as an after thought. Only once I came upon a series on Word Food, by Lonely planet. I truly enjoyed those books which focussed on a cuisine of a country at a time.

There's an interesting article in the New York Times on eating sushi in Barcelona and Japanese cuisine's appeal to Catalans. (One of Ferrán Adrià's favorite restaurants in Barcelona is Japanese.) See

I cover Food and Restaurants for my regular publications, and of course, in every Travel story I produce there is a mention or a rave review about great places to eat and wonderfully creative chefs. Check out my blog, Art and Entertain Me at: www.artandentertainme.blogspot.com

Interesting item just appeared in Gadling, re the "safest" ethnic food in the U.S. Answer: Korean (I would also add Ethiopian).
