Food Tour Romp - 21 out of 21 completed !!!!

You may well ask that. Well - one drunken evening (boxing day in the Beehive to be precise). Myself and Don Raws found an empty cockles jar. For some reason - still unknown to me (possibly the previous 10 hours of drinking). The Don suggested we ought to eat cockles in Tockholes. This randomness (and the Dave Gorman experiment) inspired me to begin an international search of my own. Basically - the idea was to see if there were any more such places that rhyme with a food or drink.

The target is to find 21 before the end of the year. If you have any suggestions, or indeed, want to participate in this madness, then please do. For a seemingly pointless task, it really is highly addictive once you start - and lends extra purpose to any trip or holiday. Why though you may ask? Well - it allows you to travel, to inventively use your brain and also make a fool of yourself having your photo taken in a random spot eating a random food.

The rules

Essentially, the rules are to consume a food or drink which rhymes with the place you're in and photograph it as proof. There are a few guidelines here to make it a little more interesting:

1.The food / drink must be edible (by humans)

2.The food / drink must rhyme with the place (milky way in conway does not rhyme i dont think)

3.The event must be photographed and posted to this page.

4.The food / drink must ideally be consumed in the place, next to a sign as proof (rules can be bent slightly but kudos will be lost.)

A successful phase 3 was implemented in India. This proved to be the strongest challenge so far. I now realise the depths I had sunk to after the lengths I went to for the Ultimate Indian Food Tour Romp collectors item - the most popular Indian food next to the most famous feature (Dall@the Taj Mahal) - cheers for that Ed :)
Taking this quest international has fulfilled a dream - and also showed me what a sad addict I am.
