This little guy is happy about it all,  but after this lunch, I'm NOT! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods     The problem is hat a "Kosher" diner not only does not have any pork, but the one we just went to doesn't have anything I would call food - at all....! First problem, as we chose, we were told that she (the waitress) would have to check to see if they had any! Now - even sausages can be obtained made from beef, and I haven't seen the pig that lays eggs.....yet! These are great, beef sausage meat with a hard boiled egg on the inside, breadcrumbed and deep fried - they are called " Scotch eggs " and would qualify!  There are hundreds, indeed thousands of Kosher recipes, but not where we were........and everything burned!   I'm sure there are good things to be found, but just not here! This is what I really went for, but of course they didn't have, and hadn't had it for years - since a change of owner  Lox on rye....... Ne...

Let's start off with New York , since that's where we are based. One of those typical places you could spend a whole life and still not know it all!  It seems that Ellis Island was the first place immigrants saw in the "new world" now it's " JFK " Airport - at least going from the lined up queues I found myself in on arrival! Of course here are certain symbols as every city has, here it's Yellow Cabs (in London they are black) a hot dog on Times Square is a must (just on the side) - in Munich it is a bratwurst, in Paris a meter long "jambon beurre" - You munch on all these things whilst wandering through the streets looking for a Restaurant....... New York, like ALL large conglomerations, world wide has had its catastrophies, maybe even more than its fair share, between hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters has also been the aim of International terrorism, and - almost every time   the world has watched, mainly horrifi...

Everything changes                                                                      the blossom has gone thanks to the heavy rain and then strong winds, but other plants are popping out!From today, my voyages in the USA will be right here on this page. If you would like to read the "what happened up to here" (from the 24/26 May) then go here: http://gourmandisedemrlemarquis.blogspot.com/  - there are a couple of articles here, but mainly on the other site - just click on the link! We have plans to enter the world of tourism, which means Times Square , Statue of Liberty etc......We could maybe even have a little competition "which photo is the best" (of the same item) Having lived in many big cities, London , Berlin , Munich , Zurich , Paris and others, I am not really a big "fan" of touring them, ...

Lachs on rye....! just a deli - lachs on rye........? Jewish deli _- corned beef but in Manhatten......!

The things still look the same, for over ????? years.  I sit outside, smoking a cigarette, and on a regular schedule, never late, they pass bye - which is a good thing. The only thing is, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW why THEY ARE always EMPTY, APART FROM THE DRIVER/ESS! As someone who used to have to walk nearly 6 miles there, 6 miles back on a daily basis, I cannot but reflect on the unfairness of life! All because we lived 100 yards from the district limit! I can't help but have the feeling that parking spaces are more required outside the schools here now How about a new pair of shoes.......?  

An "older" French account! This fellow was long gone, but he reared his head, strangely enough, in a sleepy little West German town called Detmold . The Royals ( 1st Dragoons ), known generally as the "Royals", and now a part of the well known " Blues & Royals " (mounted cavalry, although I rarely saw a horse) were arranging their affairs, to go to war - in France ! Actually, it was a new (for us) NATO arrangement for so called "desert training" and we - almost 500 soldiers, a couple of dozen Centurion tanks - Ferret Scout Cars, and all the rest of the paraphenalia necessary to pass a couple of months in the Sunny South of France were going "on holiday"! I, for my part, was convinced of my intentions during these 2-3 months, I was going to get a suntan! Going out in stifling heat onto the dusty flat plains of the "Plateau de Larzac" in a Centurion tank, all "batonned" down, did not fall into my plan...

  The USA is a large country totally full of contrasts and, because of that, conflicts. I've already commented on the eating habits, and - although there could be much more written on that subject, I think enough is enough...! I will be listing my items still to be partaken of, but they are getting lower and lower after our visit to "5 Guys" (hamburger with what are supposed to be the best french fries - I didn't think so, but there you are).   and a pancake house (Ihop) with probably the worst coffee in the world, the most horrible concoctions of breakfast pancakes with bacon - fried eggs and syrups and jam, whipped cream - all together - I guess everybody hopped after that........  To date, the best I've found are the "Diners" - they all have a large variety with enormous quantities, but don't be taken in  just because it says "Greek Diner" doesn't mean what it says.......that's where I got my Irish Stew, I guess becau...

I need nourriture too, but this looked more like an   Australian breakfast than an American Diner Lunch - Was good though, and half in a bag........of course!
