I totally agree. One of the curious things about spending a lot of
one's time travelling in the very poor parts of the world is that poor
people, unless they sink into famine, generally know how to eat a very
balanced diet indeed. And to make it taste very good too.

I'm afraid that the one area that I and the crews I work with (I've
travelled across Central Asia and Central Africa with them) dread to
have to go to because of food which tastes horrid and is unhealthy
is....

Sorry. I can't say it.
