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…

Remember my post back in January about being insulted by a Catalan chef for wanting my steak well done? Here's an even juicier tidbit from the Village Voice blog: "A patron (...) took exception for the allegedly raw lobster Chef Neil Ganic served at La Petite Crevette: According to an e-mail the diner sent to Eater, the chef emerged from the kitchen with a live lobster, which he threw on the table before telling the patrons to get out."

Are these "artiste" chefs really getting out of hand? If I want to order my lobster burned to a crisp with a tiramisù and a cherry on top, don't I have the right??

(Sorry to revisit this issue, but this is one topic that really gets me going!)
