Eating Out

[Scepticalscribe]

Oh absolutely. The idea of going to another country just to eat in a chain restaurant you can eat at when home, has no appeal. I prefer pubs to chains when I’m at home anyway, especially if there is a good recommendation.

Agree completely.

Some pub grub can be excellent - some really pride themselves on offering excellent food.

I've had colleagues who wanted to head to Pizza Hut, or McDonalds when we were in interesting countries at an interesting time; gantt, I can understand this if you have been a way for a few months, and long for the taste of something familiar.

However, to arrive in a strange city and new country and proceed to want to beat a path to the nearest McDonalds is something I have never understood (and resist, if this option is open to me).

Agree. A colleague (who hasn’t traveled much and was quite young) went to Burger King for the one night she was in Amsterdam.

We went to a lovely place by the canal. Served nice beer, nice atmosphere and food was good to.

And where have you buried their bodies?

My restraint was commendable and my tolerance for their execrable lack of taste a triumph of diplomacy.
