Delicious Food I Ate During My Travels

If you judge food with the quantity put before you Then my first choice will be the Victoria Hotel*. On Sunday lunch, food is too plentiful, makes you blue. There we will eat so much it will make our tummies swell. In my travels, I had times when food was super great. Like when in sunny Ireland we drove up a high hill. Fragrant smell of seafood, an inevitable bait, And who cared about driving, chilled white wine was a thrill. Athens and the Acropolis, a sight to explore. We descended on foot and found a farm that served meals We poured some white wine I had never tasted before, Various cuts of lamb tastefully spiced, worth the deals. One surprise was in Switzerland, on a mountain high. My wife and I opted for a trout for the first time. It was deliciously tasteful, we could almost fly. We shared a second helping, costed many a dime. I suppose there are other good times when food excelled, But Urk in Holland was my biggest surprise of all. A shack near the sea served food but not even a smell We ate the finest fresh sole, the chef we had to call. But the worst food I partook in was in old Brazil Only meat and hormone-fed chicken, cooked with no skill. NB The Victoria Hotel is situated in Sliema, Malta, not far from where I live. The food there is always first class, except for the wine :)

A great poem that makes me hungry. Sorry about the bad experience. I only drink red wine with preference for Italian sanguovese or Chilean malbec. I enjoyed the poem. Please keep me updated on travel destinations..

I envy you, dear Victor! Again, another great write! Chicago is magnificently international when I was there.I rarely ate American food. Many outdoor events are the same. All nations represented Dancing in clubs was like being in Europe for this humble, grateful soul… Blessings, Pangie.

Victor...I love how you chronicled your travels via the food....I know the meals we have while traveling add to the memory of the time and place...and like Sotto said, they're souvenirs. Have a pleasant day, Sara

Victor, your account of trips and meals is a delectable voyage through treasured memories. Your ability to eloquently depict these experiences assures that they, like the souvenirs you've collected along the road, will be ingrained in your memory for the rest of life.
