Hi my name is Pops and I am a Travel Junky and Food Porn addict.
Oh yeah baby! That’s good! Give me more- longer, faster and keep it
coming. Such is the life of a travel junky and food porn addict.
National Express and Micky D’s are not enough for this kid.
Now there’s pure food porn such as Anthony Worrall Thompson or Gary
Rhodes for those of us that regularly flip open the latest cook book
and try to find something to do with a chicken that will give lazy
taste buds and nasal hairs multiple food orgasms at a glance of a
spatchcock chicken *
Ok, so what’s food got to do with travel? Well almost everything, in
fact everything. Take one TV, add one satellite channel, one couch and
then mix with a well known chef travelling to somewhere I’ve either
been to or would like to visit and it’s almost my version of the very
best type of kinky sexual obsession.
Need some inspiration to travel but don’t know where to start? I suggest you take in a travel show like Anthony Bordain’s No Reservations
on Discovery’s Travel and Living channel. No Reservations shows not
only cool and interesting places that you may wish to visit it also
allows the viewer into a local’s world. The show focuses on food that
the locals not only eat but also where they eat and quite a few local
chefs and characters to boot.
Get inspired about what your local area offers, you don’t have to
travel far. It scares me that I lived in one of the most ethnically
diverse cities in the world for seven years- London. And I didn’t even
travel to the east end of London to experience jellied eels, pie and
mushy peas and the like, let alone eat in one of the numerous Asian
restaurants in Brick Lane. I now regret it.
So, my little piece of travel advice today:
When travelling avoid international food brands and suss out the local
stuff. It’s one of the best things to do in life with your pants on.
Wink wink nudge nudge…..
*For those interested, a means of preparing a chicken for
roasting or barbequing by splitting the chickens back down the middle,
removing the backbone and flattening so that the chicken cooks quicker.
