Nice recap of what our food starts to look like! Like you said, you barely touched the surface, but you provided an excellent introduction to what I (unbiasedly) consider some of the best food in the world b/c of all of the influences you mention in your post. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday there and that you'll be able to return one day. I personally can't wait to go back! Thanks for the mention and kind words! You know how much I love talking about our food! :)Brenhttp://www.flanboyanteats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-1929926898797290572010-03-08T18:20:23.090-08:002010-03-08T18:20:23.090-08:00What a tasty looking meal!What a tasty looking meal!test it commhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795596315329913917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-18687516751044307802010-03-08T17:42:12.522-08:002010-03-08T17:42:12.522-08:00Your posts are always such a delight!
