The new husband and I recently returned from an epic 6 week honeymoon
around the world (read more about it here). We circumnavigated the globe,
visiting 9 countries and 14 cities – what an awesome experience, and what a way to start our lives together!
The thing that we get asked most often is what our favourite meal was, and it really is impossible
to choose just one. The food was so varied that you can’t compare one dish to
another – from meat and beer in Prague, to pickled fish in Helsinki, to donkey
meat in China, to oversized everything in America… With some difficulty I’ve made a summary of some of our most
memorable meals, dishes that stood out and
epitomised the cuisine in that specific city:
Enormous platters of meat, cabbage and gravy with
steamed dumplings to mop up the sauces.
Gourmet street food – grilled Salmon, crispy deep-fried
Vendace, potato rounds and dill mayo.
After visiting the local market we had a picnic feast of dried fish,
black bread, smoked cheese, pickled veggies and wild garlic.
Caviar on biscuits and
ice cold Vodka – neat!
The BEST Peking Duck we’ve ever tasted!
Carved at the table and served with all the trimmings.
A spread of Sichuan dishes, from Lotus Roots
to Bull Frog - spicy and flavoursome, the
peppercorns have a numbing effect on your mouth!
Dumplings with every imaginable filling!
We especially loved the xiaolong bao.
The Farmer’s Market serves up some of the freshest most
inspired food in LA – these ribs were made by a ‘pit master’
using home-made bbq spices.
In true over-the-top Vegas style, this seafood buffet
served up an endless supply of oysters, crab, sushi, prawns and much much more.
Fresh seared tuna and
seaweed salad on the beach.
Super thin crust pizza on
the side walk.
