Our ongoing joke is that there are three Labradors in our house, Bundu (the actual Labby), Mike and me.  We do LOVE to eat - doesn't matter if it is Icelandic meat soup, an African Braai or a juicy bone, we're into it.  Food is another way to absorb yourself into a new destination...problem is we "absorb" a little too much when we travel and every time we come home the scales seem to groan...
