    One of the best places in the world for foodies is Singapore, the seafood especially. Used to go to a place where as you went in there were tanks full of live lobsters, prawns, crabs and fish. You would point out which items you fancied and it would be taken out of the tank and placed in your shopping trolley which you would then hand over to the kitchen staff to cook whilst you enjoyed an ice cold tiger beer. The street food markets around Chinatown served fantastic food as well.
    Indonesian street food was also bloody amazing.
    In the states used to love a rib eye steak with a baked Idaho potato and salad but the best ever steak I have had was and Aberdeen Angus one in a restaurant in Inverness.
    Afraid oxtails do nothing for me, too much of a fafth to cook for little reward meat wise.
    The most stomach churning meal I have been forced to eat was in Kalimantan where when I was working as a port captain I was taken out by some big wigs in the palm oil trade and treated to a very special meal of live monkey brains where the poor monkeys head was lopped off to reveal the brain and we were all invited to tuck in. In order not to loose face I had to taste a sliver of the poor beasts brain, not nice at all.

    Yes Singapore is a foodies heaven, but not cheap these days especially that Tiger Beer.

    Street food in Vietnam is excellent, just do not ask what the meat part is,
    Indonesia, street food cooked on a burner sometimes on the back of a bike.
    Good food but when you hand the dish back it is washed in a bucket, one bucket does all day.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    #40 I mentioned I dropped my Crock pot putting it away after cleaning and the pot cracked.
    Anyway I got a replacement slow cooker today. Thought I would go green as this one does not use a lot of energy.
