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…

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.

THE MOST DISGUSTING FOOD EVER?

You know us dogs, we'll eat anything, and i'm no exception, i'm pretty adventuresome when it comes to chow. But tongith on Andrew Zimmern's bizarre foods I just saw the ULTIMATE MOST DISGUSTING, REVOLTING, STOMACH-CHURNING, CHILL-INDUCING, PUKE-YOUR-GUTS-TILL-YOU-DIE FOOD EVER.

Seems in some parts of SE Asia especially the Philippines they eat halfway-formed duck and chicken embryos, with the yolk. They call it Balut. Here's a picture from Wikipedia:

I'm really curious to take an informal poll among you foodies: would you ever try Balut?

I want a show of hands!!!!
