A surprise in Costa Rica
“In Costa Rica I said to the waiter ‘surprise me’ – I like everything so wanted to see what they’d bring me. They brought out a plate heaped full with things in shells and a tool set. The entire group laughed at me and I had no idea where to start. Over an hour later and most of the group were on their desserts ready to pay bills I was still starving and trying to get things out of shells. There was nothing but shells that I could see. About an hour and half later, when some of the group had paid up and were planning to leave, the waiter said “how is your fish?” I said “What fish?” He explained that the shellfish were only really for decoration – they were covering a wonderful fillet of sea bass with lemon sauce…ahhhhhhhhhhhh I nearly died laughing as did those of the group who were still there.”

Peruvian ceviche
“Peru’s quirky dishes of roast guinea gig and alpaca steaks were something different but ceviche was the real highlight - a dish that I still find myself longing for and one I would always eat on every return to Lima while working as a tour leader. Chunks of raw fish (and or seafood) are tossed in freshly squeezed lime juice as you wait, a little red chilli is added and it is instantly ready and incredibly fresh. The flavours are always complemented by mild onion, sweet potato and corn on the cob and it is typically only eaten in the morning or lunchtime, prepared in front of you at one of the millions of cevicherias that line the coast of Peru. While you can find ceviche along the coast of many South and Central American countries none can compare to the original Peruvian ceviche”

Argentine steak
“Argentina is renowned for its steak and in fact has the world’s second highest consumption rate of beef! I am not a big steak eater but when in Argentina…and I am glad I did, the beef there is amazing! It is cooked on a barbecue which is known as an asado and often served with chimichurri sauce and salad, but don’t expect too many accompaniments, in Argentina it is all about the beef!”
