A secret hoarder are we! Tray check coming up! 🙂 It is good that you have recognised how important it is to stay organised! I too enjoy trying new foods! The latest has been oysters! I hope you had a wonderful time in London celebrating your birthday. I’m sure your travel plans this year will also keep you busy!
I love trying new foods too, the latest things I have tried are cockles and biryani. The biryani is a curry dish it is really spicey (if something is spicey you drink milk not water that’s a fact my dad told me) and cockles are small shell fish that are in vinegar.
Oh, I love curries! I am a big fan of spicy food! Good tip with the milk! I think it helps to line your stomach too so that the spice doesn’t upset your stomach.
I never used to like trying different foods but I’m getting slightly more adventurous now
Oh I tried them last year during our Europe day celebrations! I wasn’t a fan!
