Eating My Way Around the World
One of the things I love the most about traveling is eating. When I think of the time I spent in Japan, I remember tofu dishes I had in Kyoto, a hot bowl of ramen in Miyajima and dinner parties with friends. In Hanoi, it's the banh cuom I had; when I'm back in France, I eat as much cheese and Corsican charcuterie as possible... you get the point, I like food.
Today while checking out food articles and websites, I found a website that's all about Ramen. We're not talking Top Ramen noodles you ate in college but traditional Ramen noodle soup. Before I lived in Japan, my idea of a typical Japanese meal was sushi but once there, I quickly found out that sushi, unless bought at a food stall as take-out, is expensive and a much more common Japanese meal is Ramen. I like this website because in addition to having a large database of Ramen shops around the world, it explains the different kinds of Ramen, has some appetizing photos of Ramen dishes, and shows that there are some serious Ramen fans out there.
And while we're on the subject of food, here are two food blogs I enjoy:
Chocolate and Zuchini
Clotilde updates this blog daily with family recipes, meals she's had on her latest trip, etc. She focuses on French food and reports from her apartment in Montmartre, Paris.
Noodle Pie
Graham Holliday, a British freelance journalist who's lived in Asia for about eight years writes about food, restaurants and street food vendors in Vietnam.
