Tomorrow is Four Foods on Friday

August 7th, 2008

Filed Under FFoF |

Val is trying something a little different this time so if you’ve been holding back, you’ve still got time to participate for tomorrow. Don’t be shy, stop on by Val’s place to participate in this weekly meme!

#1. If you could travel anywhere to have a meal, where would you want to go and what would you want to eat.
I’d like to see how different Italy’s food is from America’s interpretation of Italian food. There’s a trip to Tuscany and Rome in our future.

#2. When you go away do you make your own meals or eat out?
We usually have the breakfast basics on hand and maybe snacks but part of the fun of vacationing is trying the local food so we budget generously for it.

#3. While traveling if you have to stop for a meal do you go in or do you go through the drive thru and eat in the car?
We usually eat on the go unless it’s a fancier restaurant and yes, we make sure we recycle any take out containers!

#4. Share a recipe or food related trip for people making a long trip by car.
We have a stupid nickname for this…”smokes and road beers” despite neither of us smoking or drinking. (If you’ve seen the movie The Crow, you’ll understand the reference) We’ll usually stop by a convenience store and grab a 20 oz pop, candy bar and Tabasco Slim Jim. (The only time we ever eat those) Again, the fun for us is stopping at places along the way so we rarely pack full blown picnics for road trips.

    That makes me laugh! The only time we eat slim jims is on the road too!

    I agree about food being one of the best things about travel.

    I second Tina. Eating is a big part of the fun of traveling.

    Travel means eating out in my mind! Especially finding good ice cream spots.

    I would also like to see the difference between pasta in Italy vs. pasta in America. I love pasta!

    I agree! Eating out is a big part of the fun of a vacation. We try to eat at places that we don’t have at home, so sometimes we’ll ask the local people where good places are to eat.

    Me too! Trying local foods is a must whenever traveling!
