Linda and I were fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit and dine with so many friends around the world. We loved tasting the favorite local dishes as we ate our way around and through the world.
Among our (mostly mine) favorites:
Vienna Hot Dogs with bright green relish and celery salt in Chicago; Corned Beef at the Carnegie Deli in NYC; Sacher Torte (dry Chocolate cake) in Vienna; Adobo and Pancit in Manila; Dim Sum in Hong Kong; Drunken Shrimp in Beijing; Soup Dumplings in Shanghai; Sweet holiday tamales in Mexico; Falafel in Jerusalem; Ramen in Japan; Gelato in Venice, a lot of Gelato, also in every city with a gelato shop (Linda’s #1 food in the world); Crêpes aux Fraises in Paris; Soda Bread and Irish Stew on the Quay in Westport; 1/4 Meter Bratwurst in Regensburg; Pannekoek in Victoria; Fish and Chips in London, (plus a special treat, Sunday Roast from Ginny’s Kitchen); Pad Thai in Bangkok; Street food in Singapore; Pho in Vietnam and Palačinky in Prague.
As the Covid-19 pandemic hopefully wanes we will be back on the road. One possibility is Palm Beach, Florida. We hear that the Big Mac with Supersized fries is the local favorite. Yum!
