Along with fantastic things to drink, fantastic things to eat definitely MAKE a trip!

Here's a, relatively, short list of some of my fav's!

Potato Wedges with sweet chili sauce and sour cream, New Zealand. My god, this is one of the best things I have ever eaten. And one of the few things I can actually recreate at home! Delish!

Wildflowers Garden Resturant, Chang Mai Thailand. This little place was attached to a guesthouse (http://www.souvenir-guesthouse.com/restaurant.htm) in Chang Mai that Ed and I stumbled upon. We loved it so much that we ate here the entire time we were there. Everything we had was great, especially the sweet and sour veggies, and a full meal, plus drinks (water and beer) cost only 2 bucks!

Black Rice Pudding, Thai Cooking School, also in Chang Mai. Me, I am incredibly domestically challenged, and can barely make grilled cheese. But this class, made cooking, especially the daunting THAI cooking really fun. The best thing ever? Black rice pudding. Omg. I could eat that for the rest of my LIFE.

Samosa's at Panna National Park, India. In India, we went to a lion preserve on our way down to Varanasi. We got to stay in these amazing bungalows out in the middle of, what seemed like, the bush. We had to walk about a mile from the treehouse lobby (and yes, it was really in a tree that we had to climb up to get to), through these narrow tracks made in 7 foot tall grass to go to sleep. In the treehouse, a bunch of us sat up one night chatting and the people who ran the preserve brought us some samosas. Also, one of the greatest things I had eaten ever, not just in India. I cant seem to make them correctly back at home!

Pizza at Vatica, Assi Ghat in Varanasi India. Ok, Ive totally gone on and on and on about the pizza you can get at Assi Ghat. But you totally need to try it if you're there! Spinach and onion with cheese (REAL cheese, no paneer here!) is the best! Top it off with a lime soda, and you'll be in heaven, I promise!

Chicken Tikka Masala, London England. When I was living in London, my flat was all the way on the edge of Zone 1, on the East End. There was literally nothing near us that stayed open past 4pm, except for the 2 pubs on the corner, and this one Indian restaurant (Halal Restaurant, on St Marks St). At that point, I had never tried Indian food. On our way to and from class my flatmates and I would be greeted by 4 indian men who ran the restaurant, urging us to come in. One day we caved, and did, and they brought us out this amazing spread of food without us even ordering. Fab food. Amazing chicken tikka, and naan bread. Whenever Im back in London, I always try and make it back out there.

Pommes Frites, Amsterdam. Nothing was better about my trip to Amsterdam than the french fries you buy on the street that come in the little cones with mayo. The Van Gogh museum was pretty good, but the fries were better :)

Roasted Red Peppers, Mykonos Greece. This one is a little bit more difficult, because I really can't remember exactly what this was, but I remember I adored it. I remember being in Greece, and being served these amazing roasted red peppers, filled with ricotta cheese. They had parmesan, I think, melted and crusty on top, and we're just oozing with cheesy goodness. I'm pretty sure that was all there was to this, but can't really remember. Although, this would definitely make it to my top ten list of best food, ever, even if I cant really remember the ingrediants :)

Home made Pizza, Rome Italy. My second visit to Rome brought me back to my favourite hostel, the Freedom Traveller, right near the train station on Via Gaeta. There was, across the street from the hostel, this little doorway that lead into an impossibly little room that was occupied by an elderly Italian lady. She made the best authentic pizza. Totally reminded me of eating homemade pizza made by my grandma. Yummiest breakfast ever.

Last, but not least, is the Croque Monsieur, at a street stall, St German, Paris. After taking many trips to Paris following my 4 years of highschool french, I was still in the dark as to what exactly a croque monsieur actually WAS. I mean, I read the description, etc, but I still couldnt wrap my head around a grilled cheese sandwich, with ham, and no top. So, when I took my Dad to France in 2003, I made it a point to devour one of these. And let me just say, délicieux !

2 more! Medovnik from Prague, and Anzac Biscuits from Australia!

Hmm! Now Im hungry....
