I'm from the UK and us brits are notorious for "sticking to what we know" when it comes to food!
Good old McDonalds or fish and chips 🤣
I used to be like this, but when I met my husband, he encouraged me to explore more foods.
I am certainly very thankful for this. I've tried (and love) sushi, oysters, snails (he didn’t like them and I did) just to name a few. I'm also now a pro at using chop sticks.
We consider ourselves foodies and love trying new foods and food experiences. I also love to cook and try out new techniques and recipes - much to my husband’s delight.
One of the reasons I love living in Cape Town is the vast variety of restaurants and cuisine. There’s always somewhere new to try and the food is always so fresh and delicious!
The 2 best food experiences I have tried are The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire and Nobu London. Both different cuisine but equally to die for! The service was also world class. The whole experience was just incredible (although each unique) and I'd definitely recommend both.
We do have some amazing photos from The Fat Duck too but they are on my husbands laptop and he's not here. Sorry guys!
FOOD FROM NOBU
Now to answer the question at hand. What haven't I tried but would like to?
Despite being British and having travelled to Scotland, I've never tried haggis. Haggis is sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs), mincemeat, onions, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt encased in the animal’s stomach. This is then cooked in water in the oven.
It doesn’t sound too appetizing to be honest, but never the less I'd still like to try it.
Perhaps I’ll try making it myself…. Or just wait until a day that someone else offers me some!
Either way, until then I will continue to explore new foods, restaurants and recipes… I'm sure there will be a blog or two so watch this space…
