That said, I don't envy you the tamale experience.Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-90622991492472897452013-10-24T11:52:11.764+11:002013-10-24T11:52:11.764+11:00Hi Emmie- man, I love food and trying different cu...Hi Emmie- man, I love food and trying different cuisine around the world is my favourite hobby!! I've had a few dodgy experiences but some amazing ones too. I don't think I could even try to say which was my favorite meal- but I did love everything in Italy, just about everything in Greece and only started to get bored of curry for breakfast lunch and dinner towards the end of our Indian adventure! <br /><br />I love the sound of Dance With Me - so much so I just bought it! Can't wait to dive right in!Louisa Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516084905261935607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-66648938578593199922013-10-24T09:35:05.301+11:002013-10-24T09:35:05.301+11:00I've been lucky to never run foul of any overs...I've been lucky to never run foul of any overseas food experiences but I am the quintessential "safe" traveler. Third world countries aren't even on my bucket list - I'm a big fat fraidy cat :-)<br />I adored the food and wine on the Amalfi coast in Italy. What I love about Italy is how provincial the food is in all the restaurants. Gives you a real feel for the area! And oh my Basil! I fell in love with basil!Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-8966197187416473952013-10-24T02:26:17.100+11:002013-10-24T02:26:17.100+11:00eating pastries in Franceeating pastries in Francebn100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-60071794532658847392013-10-23T20:27:24.463+11:002013-10-23T20:27:24.463+11:00Emmie, I just love the sound of "Dance with M...Emmie, I just love the sound of "Dance with Me", but not so much your tamale experience!<br /><br />Two experiences spring to mind for me, one was the day my husband's aunt in Greece taught me how to make moussaka in her wood fired oven and it was indescribably good. The bad was a curry on an island in Thailand which my dh had collected at the early morning market and then we waited until lunchtime to eat...very nasty.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901406136963950025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-39530082641803108342013-10-23T19:59:58.555+11:002013-10-23T19:59:58.555+11:00Emmie, isn't food while travelling fun?

I remember eating fresh halva in Egypt so wonderful I all but licked it off the newspaper it was wrapped in (newspaper?) and home made rose petal jam in southern Turkey that made me think I'd gone to heaven. Bad experiences? A few but I remember the results more than the actual food in those cases.

Great use of your experience to torture your heroine though!<br /><br />We travelled in Nepal, did some days trekking and for the first few, my tummy was very very dodgy! I spent a lot of time eating very plain dahl which is a thick lentil soup until things settled down. <br /><br />I must say your feast at the Rockefeller Centre sounds delish! As does your latest release, Dance With Me!

One of my favourite dishes while in France in June was the seafood paella in Nice. Absolutely delicious, and I raved for days. Have tried to emulate it but of course our fish is different.Sue Mackaynoreply@blogger.com
