  • Just heard a great story on NPR today about how Brit comedian George Egg cooks his meals away from home using standard hotel room amenities: coffeemaker, iron, even, believe it or not, the Gideon Bible. I think you foodies will get a real kick out of the video. Bon appétit!

  • Hacienda Tres Rios, Cuando? Saludos, John
  • I just read the Cairo blog and Tripatini's question below, which was, "How big a part of the travel experience is the cuisine for you?"
    This is a good question. The food is usually not a big part of traveling for me (although I love desserts!), but years ago we had mushroom soup in a local cafe in Padua, near Venice. I make mushroom soup with cream, but this one just had mushrooms, and more kinds of mushrooms than I had ever imagined. The soup was served in the shell of a round loaf of bread, and later we ate the bread until we were stuffed. This was the best soup I have ever eaten, and I would return to Padua for it.
  • I do not drink tequila, Hacienda Tres Rios, but I love this photograph !

  • Food is a major component of any trip. I remember a good restaurant as much as I do a great beach or an amazing sight.
  • Let's be honest here.

    Member Melissa Solin writes in her blog post on her trip Cairo that her favorite experience was the traditional Egyptian meal. In a country with pyramids, ruins, museums, and fascinating culture, that's a pretty strong statement (must've been one heck of a meal!).

    How "big" a part of the travel experience is the cuisine for you? Have you ever found yourself planning a trip because you yearn for Italian gelato? Or the most authentic pad thai?

    There's no shame, we all love food in this group, let's 'fess up!
  • That will come with the barbecue later!
  • If "a white ine that will hold uyp to a really low temp" try an inexpensive Pinot Gris from Oregon, Pinot Grigio from Italy, Sauvignon Blanc from California, a rosé from Spain or France's mediterranean, etc. But really, what you need is not a glass of wine but a bottle of really cold beer.
