Top 10 (okay 11) foods/menu items from around the world
(excluding dessert, that deserves it own category)
1. Everything (almost) in Bangkok!
2. Tapas, Barcelona, especially the jamón Serrano (smoked ham) and pan con tomate (tomato paste on bread)
3. Goulash, Austria or Hungary
Yes it’s true I like this hearty meal, warms you up inside and out.
4. Naan with raisins and coconut, India
Okay I’ve never been to India, I had mine in London, England but you can find some pretty awesome Indian restaurants there.
5. Take out Fish and Chips, Victoria, BC, Canada or England
The fish and chips have to be served in newspaper soaked in malt vinegar and sprinkled with sea salt.
7. Rösti, Swiss Alps
Enjoyed for lunch when skiing, yep it’s heavy but it warms you up!
8. Cacahouettes (nuts) and Champagne! Anywhere in France, heck anywhere they serve it!
9. Chicken Tajine with almonds
For the real thing you need to go to Morocco but if you are like me, you haven’t been there yet so find your local Moroccan restaurant and savour one there until you can have the real thing. There are a good number of great Moroccain restaurants in Paris, and it use to be one of my favs.
11. Smoked meat sandwich with fresh cut fries dipped in mayo
If in Montreal find your way to Schwartz’s Deli, it’s an institution. If you are in the Laurentians, my favourite is Moe’s. Make it a Moe’s #3 please.
