Georgian Food – Georgia
Bylgermany June 8, 2017December 30, 2025

Although we had fairly limited time in Georgia, I somehow managed to try a whole range of different traditional Georgian food. It began with surprise tastings on the Tbilisi Hack Free Walking Tour (highly recommended!) and, with the exception of the first night where I was craving a really good steak, I tried something different for…

Exploring Esfahan – Part 1 – Iran
Bylgermany June 12, 2017December 30, 2025

Tripa Mishqui in La Floresta – Quito – Ecuador
Bylgermany October 5, 2017December 30, 2025

There is no shortage of places to eat in Quito, including a multitude of restaurants that cater primarily for tourists. And although there is a growing culture around Container Food Parks (ie small cafe/restaurants made from shipping containers) and Food Truck Parks in Quito and other major centres, I have found that in many cases they are quite…

Coffee processing – Finca Esperanza Verde
Bylgermany April 30, 2016December 30, 2025

The Finca Esperanza Verde is actually a working organic coffee farm and this time around I arrived right at the end of the flowering season. Each of those little green nodules that are left once the flower has finished will turn into a coffee bean. The last time I was here, I did the coffee processing…
