Like many people, I have been quite often traveling, sometimes for work, sometimes on vacations, alone or with my family.
So below is a list of the amazing, unforgettable, month-watering memories I had while traveling (you should do it as well, it's quite fun).
Here is list without any ranking per se:
- When I learned the word "tsouvlaki" in Athens and that Taverna dinner we had just before leaving Greece, back in 2000
- when I was 12 or 13, the amazing month-watering Artichokes and green peas Tajine in Morocco
- April 2001, my trip to Brazil, nibbling on Salgados (chicken , meat or cheese empenadas), drinking Asucos (exotic fruit juices) or Guarana in Rio de Janeiro streets.
- 1996 or 1997, the ammaaazzziinng grilled chicken we bought with my parents in Firenze - Italy, and ate in a small park. We literally licked our fingers
- ohhhhhh and the indescribable, 8 or 10 course and wine pairing dinner a Le Bernardin (3 stars at the Michellin). Thanks again Orhan!
- that very first bite when I am craving sushi (every time the same pleasure)
- Hungary, summer 2004, a completely and surprisingly delicious Paprika-flavored grilled chicken bought in a Budapest market
- Lebanon, summer 1999 that early dinner in a restaurant outside of Beyrouth in the garden with kebbe, lahmajun and other savory goodies
- wandering in the Bastille market in my hometown Oran in 2008, and having Karantita that took me back into my childhood (check the Farinata entry in Wikipedia)
- The lovely vegetarians and fish mezze along with grilled fish in the Island of Cunda in Turkey (Sept 2008)
- London 1996 or 1997, that short week-end trip to London and that great Indian dinner
- Toronto and the tasty French restaurant with Işıtan way back then (pre-marriage that is), that I can't remember anything except the sensation and the memory of adoring my food
- Paris, the cheese platter my mom used to make me when I get back from New York
- and not to forget, the most amazing capital of food (forget about finance) New York-New York, all the food discoveries I made and memories I have. I simply can not list them all!
