The food there is to die for, and bears no resemblance to the deep-fried crap found in North America.

Yum. Have you tried Brunswick Stew? It's a favorite of mine that's popular in my home state of NC (though I assume it's from Georgia originally). Another favorite of mine is Ethiopian Red Red, or Kone Ni Makondo. I tried it at an Ethiopian restaurant here in New Orleans, and I was surprised by how comforting and familiar it is. I loved it (and Brunswick Stew) so much, I taught myself how to make both. I'm going to post a loosey-goosey recipe for Red Red on our blog soon. It's really easy to cook on a boat (esp. if you've got an Instant Pot). I'll tag you when I share it!<br /><br />Indiantown is Florida, right? I think I just read something about it recently. I'll be so glad when we've got the Shanti travel-worthy.

Yum. And that includes savory Brussels sprouts in my opinion. Oh, wow. You're addressing a complete 'foodie', here, a total culinary fanatic unless I'm too immersed in writing to care about food. I had a craving for Indian food today, in part thanks to a blogger friend, and went out of my way for naan, paneer tikka, and chicken vindaloo. Literally we went out of our way, having ordered online from a place that ended up having closed for a family emergency. We drove to somewhere we'd never been and sat in wait for takeaway. Heh... I would have liked some masala dosa, too, but it was a little pricey at the new place. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying anything new. It's a hobby of ours, and we were delighted to find a Colombian arepas restaurant near this Indian place. Yum... Cannot wait to try that.Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-33580443743328535942018-01-17T12:11:42.674-08:002018-01-17T12:11:42.674-08:00Arepas are pretty normal.

However, I'd be much more willing to eat those things compared to grasshoppers or guinea pig. 😳 One of my friends, who was in the army up until recently, returned to tell the story of how he ate termites where he was stationed. Ew. But who knows what Americans eat that other countries think is weird and disgusting!
