I have been asked why I have not been posting photos of the food, given the title of my blog. The truth is that I’ve not really seen much remarkable, and when I have I’ve not had a camera. In fact I can think of only one dish I’ve eaten that I’ve had to admire, but I do take the point that I should photo and post up.

Fact is I’ve almost stopped eating out. More often than not eating out has given me a bad belly for two or three days, and if not I’ve not felt on top form. For this I have been cooking my own food and eating in, but with the twist of drinking the local water a little, and making my morning bacon and eggs spicier and hotter each day by adding chilly sauce. I am trying to develop cast iron stomach and asbestos gob. Armed with these two defenses I hope to once again sally forth to the restaurants of Merida, and I will remember to take my camera with me.
