I love Thailand: crazy, hectic, electric, and full of weird food. I have too many great images to share all at once, so we’ll have to keep going back.
In Thailand, there is a direct correlation between earning money and eating. Wherever there exists a patch of sidewalk, you’ll find someone who has something to sell you. These pictures were taken in Chinatown at night.
I am sorry Mamoun, but you’ve got nothing on these guys in Egypt, selling their falafel from a cart on the side of the road. Sharm el Sheik is a diving resort town in the Red Sea.
These were some of the most delicious falafel I’ve ever tasted. These are pics from the prep zone, I think the yellow substance in the bottom right is eggplant sitting in an egg bath.
Mmmmm….batter.
This is a well earned snack after a drizzly day of touring on foot. Although they don’t look great, each of these fritters has something to do with tuna, and they were delicious.
Horta is an island in the Azores, belonging to Portugal. We made landfall there after 8 grueling days in a spontaneous tropical storm in the North Atlantic. Still a few days South and West of mainland Europe, the Azores are another week’s sail from Gibraltar, the entrance of the Mediterranean. The best cheese I have ever tasted came from the local agricultural co-op.
Although not from a farmers market, I love this image. MMMmmmmmmmmm, canned pig bits…
