This week’s FFOF has put me in a holiday mood. I’ve had a very busy week so it’s good that I even get to dream of a holiday. Okay, let’s get going with this week’s questions.

#1. If you could travel anywhere to have a meal, where would you want to go and what would you want to eat.
Dimsum breakfast in Hong Kong, a pasta lunch in Tuscany, Italy and a scrumptuous lobster dinner in Sydney, Australia. Am I coming across as being just a little greedy here ?

#2. When you go away do you make your own meals or eat out?
We eat out. Most hotels don’t have cooking facilities. At any rate, vacation time is precious and I wouldn’t want to waste it slaving in the kitchen.

Besides when I go to a new place/country, I want to try all the different types of local food so I’m just rearing to go, go, go! Sometimes I will even grab some food (usually finger food or street fare) back to the hotel to eat.

#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?
It really depends on the place we’re passing through. If it looks dirty or crowded, we’ll just drive on. I usually have snacks and sandwiches in the car so we really don’t have to stop till we get to a decent restaurant.

#4. Share a recipe or food related tip for people making a long trip by car.
We pack a cooler with ice cubes, canned drinks, bottled water and cut-up fruits. I also like to bring along snacks and breads and pack a few sandwiches as well. I have a can in my car for sweets (candy) and sour preserves.

It’s a great idea to also have a few empty plastic bags which can come in real handy as garbage bags for the stuff you’ll be eating in the car, and a bottle of water for washing hands. Did I leave out anything ?
