I've set myself a challenge. For each letter of the alphabet, I am going to come up with a dish, then go around eating it in Auckland. It'll have to be something I want to sample, be available for sale (rather than something made at home), and preferably lead to me trying something/somewhere new. Feel free to join me if you like!
The trouble is, I got stuck pretty much straight away. With something like fruit, it seems pretty easy to come up with an option for each letter, at least to begin with: Apple, Banana, Cherry, Durian, ...* With dishes though, I had trouble finding something starting with A. I kept drifting to sweet treats, like apple pie and apricot danishes. Trying to work out what starts with X will be even harder!
* Eggplant, like tomato, is botanically a fruit, but I tend to think of it as a vegetable.
Anyway, I'll update this post with links to what I've chosen for each letter as I write about them.

ReplyDeleteNice one! Thanks!
Deletethat's a super fun challenge! :D
ReplyDeleteWell, you can do it too! :)
DeleteIs "pie" too broad?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge!
I am definitely considering pie, even though there are plenty of other things starting with P. It'll take me a while to get there though. I haven't even started any eating for A yet.
