Help - I'm Eating The Lurker!
I'm off to Dubrovnik soon for a few days and thought I'd do a bit of research as to what to expect in the food line. Google Images was helpfull in bringing my expectations down to a realistic level if nothing else. Most of the dishes are, it seems, served by the bucketfull and no small number seemed to consist of a black oily looking liquid with vague tentacle looking things coiling out of the surface. One picture appearing to be some kind of dog spit-roasted in a woodland clearing actually made me shiver and it is with no small level of trepidation I face the forthcoming trip. Grub is an integral part of travel for me, but not skinned bat roasted by the side of the road [I've seen it in the far-east, I kid you not!]; I get more twitchy the further I am from the nearest Michelin starred restaurant and have no desire to 'experience the local culture' by tucking into a dish of sheeps-eyeballs with a side accompanyment of grit in a bedouin tent in Ouarzazate. In my experience all that that results in is a very local experience four hous later of being bent over the pan while your digestive system indulges in a bit of pay-back for the insult you have inflicted on it!
The truth is a Lion and does not need protection. Once free it will look after itself.

'Of course - you know you have.'

Frostheart visited Dubrovnik a couple months ago, but may not come to the Galley to see your post. Perhaps you might PM her with a request for her insights?
