SOUTHERN INDIA: Masala dosa - a huge crispy pancake loosely rolled with spicy potato filling, served with three or four different chutneys. Kaima iddly - rice dumplings chopped into small pieces, fried and smothered with spicy red sauce. Served with oniony yoghurt. [B]Pani Puri - little round puffy crispy circles with some yummy stiff piled on top and I can't remember what the stuff was, but trust me it was beautiful! [/b] .

Absolutely love Om Ali - a very sweet dessert made with nuts and sultanas, milk, cream and bread - almost like a bread and butter pudding but not as stodgy.
Another is koshary which is noodle, macaroni, rice and lentils usually with a tomato type sauce mixed on top |

Padron peppers grilled with loads of salt in Palma tomato fritters with yoghurt in Santorini Himmel and Erde in Munich- mashed potato and apple pancakes shredded fried chili beef and Som Tam papaya salad in Bangkok Polish pirogi dumplings and Golabki- lovely stuffed cabbage leaves cevapi- Bosnian "mini fingers"- like mini kebabs, Portuguese custard tarts- yum yum. Laab Gai in Laos with loads of baby chilies and toasted rice and mint. Food is the main driver when we choose our holidays |

All this mention of Greek foods, I have to add my face, spanocopita. A spinach & feta pie wrapped in phyllo dough. I make a version at home sometimes but it's not as good. Freshly brined olives are hard to beat with a glass of raki too.

Eccles cakes. Simple, yes. But what a great combination of flavours and textures.

Sat in a bar in Turkey some years back and watched a very experienced elderly lady make those from scratch next to a near pizza oven. They were deliciously simple and I could never replicate her skill. |

We were in Lanzarote last week and visited a rated tapas bar.
We had several dishes of Spanish Omelette, crab salad, Russian salad, fried aubergine drizzled in honey and balsamic, chorizo sausage and a cheeseboard with iberico ham. Moderate portions but between two we were stuffed. We took half the cheese back to the apartment. With a bottle of wine we paid about €40. It was a "treat". You could get the "full English" in most Brit/Irish pubs for €2.50 and they weren't short of business. When in Rome.......... |

We did something very similar in Lanzarote in early August. I did some research before we went and found a highly-rated tapas place (La Tabla, in Costa Teguise) near the hotel. It was absolutely lovely - there was a dish of roasted vegetables, which wouldn't normally enthuse me all that much, that was incredibly good. I think it's the first time in my life that I've been excited by a vegetable.
Their House Dessert is stunning. |

Haha, yes, I was a bit sceptical about something with such a generic name, but my wife declared it the best dessert that she'd ever had. And this is from a woman who likes her puddings.
