replying to @Sputniktechno @Sputniktechno @LindaPeters64 It always surprises me when I have good seafood far from the one water or vice versa, because I've had plenty of bad seafood on a coast. #TRLT

NewYorkHabitat
replying to @travelhistory1 @travelhistory1 @LindaPeters64 Yes, pretty much completely crunchy, not much meat or soft insides! They're usually cooked with spices too, which is pretty tasty #TRLT

A2. I've been surprised by a lot of different fruits around the world, especially in jungle regions. Most I don't even know the names of them! Lots of new ones in Panama. Jack fruit, in Uganda: who knew fruit could be as sticky as glue! #trlt

This is certainly a dish that I think I would skip, just because I don't know if I could eat a guinea pig (not to mention the scorpions)! OMG!
You're a true adventurer! #TRLT https://t.co/tEhYUgMO9B

A1 Everyone expects the highlight of Uzbekistan to be the @unesco cities, but the landscapes are just as impressive, and equally deserving of your time #trlt

replying to @FunInFairfax @FunInFairfax @Ilanaontheroad Oh yes! Spices are terribly interesting! I just love spice markets, even just to look at all the different colors and textures, without even tasting! #trlt
LindaPeters64
replying to @NewYorkHabitat @NewYorkHabitat @travelhistory1 Oh my, fried scorpions in Beijing are an interesting way to indulge. #TRLT
Touchse
Bazaars/markets are superb, even the scent of all the food, fruits etc. is so intriguing (except when it's fishy...) - love those fresh fruits!

A3. One of many unexpected wonders along #TRLT came on the final day of my #CaminodeSantiago with @WalkinSpain at the Pilgrim's Mass. Humbled and in awe, I watched spectacle of the Botafumeiro in the Santiago de Compostela cathedral. Moved me to tears! #TRLT @CharlesMcCool

replying to @AngelaMDiLoreto @AngelaMDiLoreto @TheTravelCamel I've tried lardo, too, and loved it! I didn't know if I would, but it's so delicate. #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @travelhistory1 For obvious reasons, all these carps are from fish farming, but yes still in #Iraq. Yes, they are split open and cooked around a fire. Very soft and absolutely delicious. #TRLT
