Hi there, I’m on a round-the-world trip as well, started in london and heading eastwards! Just got into Istanbul today and found your blog on foodblog.com. Looks great!

Depending on where you end up in Italy, France, England and USA, I’d be more than happy to share some notes. Get in touch!

@Lorraine – Perhaps being greedy is a compliment ;) Yes! The cherry tomatoes in Japan are truly spectacular. I bought some from a lady on the side of the road in Kyoto – they were like eating sweets, so ripe and juicy and flavoursome.

Hehe who are you calling greedy? Moi? :P But seriosuly I love tasting real tomatoes. Sad to say but even the expensive tomatoes here pale in comparison to real tomatoes overseas. One cherry tomato in Japan had me reeling in pleasure. I had never had anything like it!

What a lovely, mouthwatering photo. It seems you’ve got the same philosophy as me when it comes to exercise…I don’t go jogging to lose weight…it’s just so I can eat more :-)

Gorgeous photo Christie – you’re making me hungry. I was really impressed with how ripe and flavourful the fruit in Turkey was – I hope they never get trapped with modern supermarket fruit!
