You should have a look at Jonny Angel blog - he's dead keen on Korean food and writes about food all the time.<br /><br />I'll keep your offer in mind, though I reckon my next overseas trip will be a long way in the future...Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1099302584116981192004-11-01T22:49:00.000+13:002004-11-01T22:49:00.000+13:00The solution is simple: next time you go somewhere...The solution is simple: next time you go somewhere exotic for a holiday, invite me along as your culinary guide. Not only will I monitor what you put in your mouth, I will analyse (silently) what I'm eating to recreate on the return home!<br /><br />Note: This isn't fool-proof. I made myself disgustingly sick my last night in Seoul, but that may have also had something to do with alcohol...Pickwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887094068295826067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1099196100331341602004-10-31T17:15:00.000+13:002004-10-31T17:15:00.000+13:00I've always heard that a really spicy curry will d...I've always heard that a really spicy curry will do wonders for snot-clogged cold-sufferer, but I never considered that it could be the remedy to food-poisoning...<br /><br />I do know for sure that alcohol doesn't work.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1099079014262732372004-10-30T08:43:00.000+13:002004-10-30T08:43:00.000+13:00Tara: I went about ten years ago, so anything I te...Tara: I went about ten years ago, so anything I tell you could well be a bunch of lies by now. But if pressed, I would say this -<br />(i) Keep your feet covered, and dont wear new open sandals; this is asking for open wounds and infections.<br />(ii) The best vegetarian food is in the South of India <br />(iii) the Rajasthani area is the easiest place for travellers since everyone speaks English and there is a solid tourist infrastructure. On the other hand, it's bound to be heaps more touristy.<br />(iv)Get a Lonely Planet. It'll be your bible.<br />Hope you keep up your blog when it becomes "Tara and Lee in India"<br /><br />J.B. : You might be right. Since I am Asian myself, this presents a few difficulties. However, the boy is English and already does most of the cooking. He must have figured it out for himself...Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1099067819812256882004-10-30T05:36:00.000+13:002004-10-30T05:36:00.000+13:00I want to hear more about your travels in India!
