I love food. One of my favorite things about travel is trying new foods and restaurants. When something I ate doesn't suit a whole post here on Diverge, I make a casual food-review post about it on my hungry little tumblr.

1921 Angel Hill

"this was a special dining experience, as Loverboy took me to a Michelin-starred restaurant for my birthday dinner. it was of course exquisite, and still a very comfortable atmosphere. I tried frogs legs, foie gras, and duck, liked everything except the texture of foie gras, and also enjoyed two delightfully strong cocktails..."

Artigiano

"the dish on the left was an Albanian cornbread appetizer, and while I was not hungry enough to finish everything, the two pieces I did have were really yummy. the cornbread was thinner and crisper, and also less sweet, than like american cornbread, which is fair. it had a walnut spread on top, which was..."

"breakfast in Albania was a bit unusual, because all the cafes and breakfast-type restaurants we could find simply had pastries (obviously) and... deli sandwiches? I love a deli sammich, so no complaints there, I just couldn't tell if that was like the normal breakfast for Albanians, or..."

"the poll on my travel blog post about Tirana has spoken: surprising source of comfort food! most of the food in Albania is Italian cuisine, which is good but I was happy to see a noodle-less dish too! Honestly, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken (with seasoning), and asparagus is one of my favorite combos for..."

"I had chicken tikka, and my partner had vegetable biryani. we also got samosas, and some other side dishes that I forget the names of but they were all delicious!

the chicken nourished my soul. the samosas did the work of my antidepressants. the rice...."

Hamburgerfabrikken

Jan. 21-27, 2023

"I went to this restaurant three times in the week i was in Iceland, and it was delicious every time.

it was about 3 blocks from the hotel, so very conveniently located, especially as it catered to the vegetarians in our group. I've said before that I don't typically eat red meats, but..."

Fosshotel

January 21-27, 2023

"I love a good hotel breakfast - who doesn't?? and this one was GOOD. Pictured here are breakfast (left) and lunch (right) from our first day in Reykjavik. My tummy was so happy, especially with the honeydew and pancakes from the breakfast buffet..."

"while I was ~home for the holidays~ I had brunch with a friend I hadn't seen since last Christmas, and it was lovely. Also seeing my friend was good too. ;)..."
