We both thought they were disgusting!

In Sri Lanka I used to eat dhall curry all the time and loved it. Egypt was mostly salads, depended upon what else was on offer.

I can never understand people having Maccy D's when on holidays...

Me neither. I love to try the local cuisine.

No I wouldn't go to McDonalds or Burger King as where we go (the less touristy parts) there isn't one available.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I must admit that I avoid places that do English food, English pubs and the like.

I love trying local food.

I am sitting here wondering if Skippy would be so keen on self-catering holidays if she did not have Dave to do the cooking!!!! Sorry Skip - could not resist that one!

We sometimes got to Maccy D's when away from home (not for me tho)
I have an allergic son and we know that if he has certain foods he will be OK as they are pretty universal. We always would prefer to eat local but sometimes thats just too risky with allergies. If we can find certain cuisines (ie italian etc) then we would eat at a restaurant but I would have a nervous break down taking a peanut allergic child into a Thai restaurant (even tho I love Thai food).

We are learning Italian so that we can have an extended stay in Florence (at least a year - possibly permanent) once we are debt free. We will be immersing ourselves into the culture and not looking for English places (except perhaps a good old english pub with a pub quiz occasionally)
When I was younger I did what I knew - now I know better I do better!

We are looking at retiring out to Spain, or somewhere warm, once the IVA is finished, but I won't be going anywhere with an ex pat population and most definitely wouldn't be doing English pubs.

Hola Jan. Will you be learning Spanish before you go?

I am learning the language at the moment at nightschool and it is really fascinating. I love my lessons.

Hasta pronto!!

Hola Mel!

We probably will once we have decided where we are going. Night school is not really an option at the moment with my shift working.

It's a few years down the line at the moment so looking at all options.

I've just caught up with this!

Mel, I would be as fussy if Dave didn't do the cooking, but I would be living on a diet of fish fingers, Pot Noodles and things like that, even on holiday!

I will only eat things if I know what is in them and I certainly wouldn't try stuffed vine leaves - leaves belong on trees and vines, not in my tummy!

Also if I went all inclusive I would expect a discount as I don't drink and soft drinks are cheaper!

Thought stuffed vine leaves were dreadful! Don't like moussaka either. Can't stand aubergines.

Skip - Dave could have your share of the drinks!

I will try most things, although I'm funny about fish. Has to have every bone removed before I'll touch it!
