I’m better with food than I used to be. Until about the age of 14 I pretty much existed on chicken nuggets and chips with enough dollops of ketchup to fill Sydney Harbour. In the following years I branched out, attempting a sprout or a spoonful of curry here and there, but I never did [...]
“Bring me back a bottle of Feni” these words from a friend prompted me to search Google to what exactly Feni was, before I left for Goa… In Goa I made it a point to visit a museum where I could learn something about Goa’s most famous double or triple distilled alcoholic drink. Feni or [...]
