A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Sunday, July 29, 2007. GETTING BIGGER IN JAPAN: TOKYO. I am not the first, and I am sure I wont be the last to compare Tokyo’s subway map to a plate of colourful noodles, but it is certainly true that, at first, it looks impossibly daunting and you approach the metro stations with a certain amount of trepidation. Also, unlike its London counterpart, it is impossibly punctual as indeed are all the trains in Japan. First stop on Friday, Shibuya which is a pleasant eno...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Tuesday, August 14, 2007. GETTING BIGGER IN JAPAN: BACK TO THE FISH MARKET AND ON TO HONG KONG. So, that was it for the tour. One story I had not found was the one that most people had said I must not miss. The Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish market. As a visitor, be it Japanese or from abroad, the market is a must but, unless you know the places to go and the rules involved, it can be a bit intimidating. As Aaron explained, the fish bought in the market can be in Osaka or Kyo...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Thursday, June 28, 2007. I am very pleased to be able to announce that EAT MY GLOBE is not only going to be a blog about one man’s journey into penury (for those who don't know, that's just outside Basingstoke) but is also, now going to be a book. They were all good meetings and everyone listened politely as I blubbed about a mid life crisis or reaching the "tipping point” and, thankfully, a lot of them were very interested in the book. A spinach dip that reminded m...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Friday, April 20, 2007. NYETIMBER: FIZZING DOWN TO SUSSEX. A Dutchman and a Canadian go into a bar and ask for a glass of English sparkling wine. It sounds like the beginning of a joke and, in years past it may well have been. However, if Eric Hareema and his team at Nyetimber have their way then Nyetimber’s Classic Cuvee will appear as regularly on any celebratory table as any Champagne. For Eric has plans. Big Plans. Nyetimber is situated down in West Sussex about...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Friday, March 28, 2008. SANTA CRUZ: A LOT TO GIVE THANKS FOR. Thanksgiving, I am told, is quite a big deal amongst our former colonial cousins. I don’t know about that. The only thing I normally give thanks for is that, because of certain minor 18th Century skirmishes in far away places, I have the blessed good fortune not to be called Josh or Brad. One of the first, if indeed not the very first e-mail I received when I announced my intention to quit work and head o...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. MELBOURNE: A CITY OF GREAT TASTE. I will begin by saying that I loved Melbourne and my time there. Every last waking minute of it. In the same way I prefer the truly American city of Chicago to New York or Madrid to the theme park Spain of Barcelona, Melbourne appealed to me on so many levels. It just gets on with its daily life. A life which they are happy for you to be a part of, but not particularly concerned if you choose not to. The Asi...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Sunday, September 30, 2007. THE ESSENCE OF CHINA: GORGING ON THE GORGES. If you have been reading the blog carefully (and if not, why not? You will probably be gaining the impression that I was finding China a bit of a challenge and, you would be absolutely right. Added to which, I had not read my trip notes carefully enough (my fault, no one else’s) and had not remembered to purchase a towel which were not provided by the boat and so had to buy a fetching yel...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Sunday, April 27, 2008. ICELAND: DON”T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW. Once again, the extraordinary generosity of you folk amazes me. This time, it was in mid January as I headed off to explore the joy that is Iceland at that time of year. A time when the lakes of capital city, Reykjavik are frozen solid enough for local high schools to use as an extra sports field. A time when most normal citizens of this small but thriving city are wrapped up warm inside. Magga had decided ...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Monday, November 26, 2007. I WANT TO BE IN AMERICA: KANSAS CITY AND THE AMERICAN ROYAL. By the time my early flight touched down at Heathrow, I had suffered the interminable wait for my bags and the equally long journey back to the flat by tube, I was, as you can imagine, shattered. Still, by the time I was heading off on the next stage of the journey it seemed like I had hardly been home at all. Well, America of course. First stop, Kansas City MO. Let me retrace my...

A FOODIE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE AGE. Monday, June 09, 2008. BOOK MY GLOBE: US EDITION. Yes, I am way behind on the blog writing. There is a good reason. I am concentrating on writing the book itself for the good folks on both sides of the Atlantic, who have paid me cold hard cash to deliver in August. I promise to catch up soon. In the meantime, I hope the image above meets with approval. It is the cover of the jacket from The Free Press who will publish the book in the good old US of Stateside. For ye...
