Holiday food
hi!
just come back from jamaica and the food was delicious. the jamaican patties were beautiful (kind of like a pasty with spicy beef or chicken inside) the jerk chicken was fantastic as was the griddled snapper (they seem to eat alot of snapper) what type of food do you like when you go away? anyone been the carribbean and enjoy their fresh fish? what about greek/spanish food, what dishes do you like? |

MMmmmm I love Greek food. Lamb Kleftiko (slow cooked lamb rice and potatoes) is a favourite, as well as Stifado - a beef stew type thing, Saganaki which is fried cheese, and I adore Greek salads.

Fresh fish from the market. Straight on the BBQ with a bottle of local wine and some local tomatoes. Goats cheese straight from the farmer.

I love Greek / Turkish food (which is very similar, just has different names!!)
I love having a Meze in a traditional taverna with some retsina *RG22 floats away into a haze of happy holiday memories* |

You could have something similar from nearly every breakfast joint in New York, don't know why you'd get one from McDonalds.
Thanks for the tip

I LOVE trying new food when on holiday.
Recently discovered Pepperpot stew in Antigua - delish. I tried grits while in Georgia recently - proper southern american cuisine - tasted like a colder lumpier porridge

I also loved the McCafes in Australia for their Frappes and Lamington cakes (yes I know you can get Lammys everywhere but YUM)

Nothing beats a proper short stack of hotcakes with good ol' crispy brittle bacon, maple syrup from a sticky metal jug and a imperial buttload of scrambled eggs

Well I'm going to Tennessee next year, I have been to the states quite a few times to visit my Aunt in Texas, she cooked some wonder southern food,
but I'm looking forward to the Tennessee visit. I'll probably comeback bigger than than the *King* Elvis! ![]() ![]()
