I was in the Czech Republic where they served us pizza with tuna and corn on it. I was appalled, but one of the locals came in and said "Hey! Tuna and corn- my favorite!"
I travel 6-12 times a year to Europe. I always crave Mexican food on the way home. Not many Mexican places in the EU, although I did go to a decent one in Rouen, France once.
We go to my local Mexican place...hard to find good Tex-Mex in Japan.
I had some GREAT Mexican in Shanghai once, but when I went back a few months later, the flavor had changed drastically, becoming much more "Chinese" (5-spice powder in the fajitas, for example). I agree with both- Mexican is hard to find. Pizza in other nations (aside from Italy) is always fun- not always tasty, but interesting for sure!
Since I generally work night on a 7 day a week, 12 or 13 hour shift for multiple weeks, I sleep a lot.
Generally, if I am home in time, I also get to regain my kitchen duties as soon as I walk through the door.
Doesn't matter what time I get home, I also regain my duty as Daughters alarm clock ( & driver if she misses the school bus).
The dogs are always happy to see me....
My wife is a good cook, but doesn't enjoy it, so when I'm traveling, I miss being in the kitchen the most. We have a rescued Dane, who has abandonment issues- when we all go away, we have a pet sitter, but when it's just me the poor bastard practically rattles himself apart from the tail shaking.
While Germany may have the best german food, England has good food from former colonies, France has good french, etc., the US is second to none for a wide variety of excellent food from many places. And I usually get late flights in, so my coming home tradition is often to go to sleep. But I do get hungry for pizza and hamburgers.
I mostly agree- but find that we've got some gaps where I live (southwest)- we've got the market cornered on Mexican, of course, and have some pretty ok Italian, some nice Indian, but I crave a good doner/iskender kabab every now and then!
slightly ironic.
Agreed! Although I was traveling outside of England...
