Food Glorious Food!


I'm always amazed when I go travelling how many different fruits, vegetables, and dishes there are that I had no idea about before.

A trip to Brazil or Indonesia makes me really question the old apple/banana/orange dilemma that I usually have when buying fruit.

In a lot of countries I can not identify most of the vegetable, let alone figure out how they are used. In Japan I was shocked to find there was more than one kind of mushroom!!

You can't even find button mushrooms here!

Some countries claim to have a lot of different specialty dishes; but really they are only meat and potatoes served in different styles, or noodles that are a different shape.

But

some food in some countries makes me salivate, makes my nose work overtime, and makes me wish I were twins so I could eat twice as much.
