Food for thought

As so begins what we're hoping will turn into something of a tradition.
When we leave a country we will run-down our all-star menu for a days fine dining. This is part self-indulgent confirmation of what local foodies we've become and part useful record of our tastes so that in a years time we can (try to) recreate these culinary delights for you fine folk.

    yeah! it's basically a whole boiled egg, wrapped in pastry with some masala spice...strangely addictive.

    *further last minute change to my selection, as of about half an hour ago my life has been changed for the better my Kerala's finest "Sharjah Shake" which is as follows; frozen milk (not icecrem), chocolate, banana & horlicks blended and served by a happy little indian man. heaven in a cup.
