It’s been said that we travel on our stomachs. We do enjoy food; we like cooking it and eating it, as well as reading and writing about it, and we love to eat local dishes when we’re traveling. While David keeps track of what we eat, and where, in a written journal, we’ve found that pictures are much better at bringing back our memories of meals we’ve had. On this trip, David vowed to take a picture of every single meal. That lasted one full day before he forgot, and it wasn’t the last time, by any stretch. However, he took pictures of most, and the ones we have are representative of the trip in general. We also rated each picture, from 1 to 5 stars, based on how the contents tasted; not all the pretty dishes were tasty, and some of the ugly ones were fabulous. It should be noted, however, that no ice cream or gelato is picture here. Ice cream, of course, will merit its own post.
The video above moves fairly quickly; if you want to see them at a slower pace, you can scroll through them here at your own pace. If you're curious about something we ate, leave us a comment and we'll explain what it was. Bon appetit!

ReplyDeleteAmazing! This is an aspect of travel we forget about, except in the abstract. It's great to see such a complete record of la comida. My only question is: which one is the guinea pig?

Scott--the cuy was in the November 3rd dinner pictures, the photo with four square dishes. It's the bottom right-hand dish, "chicharron" style. It was more fatty than I care for, and it tasted more like rabbit than say, chicken. It was interesting to try, but we didn't seek it out after that. We did see it later roasted on a spit, with a guava in its mouth rather than the apple a regular pig would have. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for following along!
