Flight Attendant Friday: About the Food

Q. Do you eat local food when you travel, or do you try to stick with “safe” American food?
A. I try to eat local whenever I can, and enjoy experimenting with the various cuisine where I am traveling. While you won’t find dining on fried worms, or sauteed insects, I generally prefer to sample some of the local dishes. Why eat American food, since I can get it any time when I’m at home.
I try to use common sense, and refrain from unsanitary street vendors, but all in all I’ve had good experiences with small, out-of-the-way cafes.
I much prefer to be adventure and savor the local delicacies — like the HUGE lemon in this photo. The lemon was used, along with several others, to make a refreshing lemonade while I was in Sorrento, Italy.
This area of Italy is known for its lemons, used for delicious gelato, and also for lemoncello, a very popular lemon liqueur.

One more photo from my travels in Italy, this one along the water in Sorrento. I love the way these hotels and residences are carved into the sides of the hill, offering great views of the area.
Next week it will be back to a regular posting schedule here at Flyaway Cafe. Vacation is over — back to work!
