Foodmadics: travel and taste with Sara and Ale

Welcome to our blog, we are Sara & Ale: we are Italians and we love to travel and taste. We coined the term Foodmadics to describe those who travel & taste like us.

Sara is sweet, quirky, funny and writes all the content in this blog. She is a great travel planner but also disaster-prone and a little bit of a scaredy cat sometimes. Shh, don’t tell her this last part or she’ll put on her angry face..

Ale (like the beer, yes, but pronounced differently!) is cheeky, methodical and sometimes extremely annoying. But hey, he was the one deciding to build this website

England: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the countryside in Cotswolds that seems to come out of a Jane Austen book, to the traditional English breakfast in the morning, England has changed its past bland food history and in the recent years, many places that offer great food blossomed in the country. You can now experience simple but tasty gastropubs and great restaurants alongside with the traditional afternoon teas and fish and chips or pies. If you are visiting Dorset or Cornwall, we recommend tucking in the fresh fish produce (mussels are a number 1!) at places like Rick Stein’s restaurants. If you are planning a visit, do not forget to put down in your list Dorset, Seven Sisters, Cornwall and get a taste of Wales at Rhossili Bay.

Scotland: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

From the small villages by the shore where you can have the freshest fish, to the infinite coast of the island of Skye, Scotland will surprise you from the minute you set foot in the country. Amazing natural landscapes will grab your eyes and heart and the simplicity of the Eilean Donean Castle will grant you the opportunity for a postcard photography. Home of the best whiskies in the world (like Talisker and Oban) and country of golf, you have the chance to visit places like St. Andrews and see the best greens in the world (and perhaps test them!). If you are travelling by car, it is worth stopping by the many lakes (lochs) that this country offers, starting from Lochness (home of the famous monster!) and getting to the lesser famous but even more beautiful loch Lomond.

HongKong: 10 reasons to visit and their local food

Western people consider HongKong the doorway to China and we were not an exception. This has been our first time in Asia and we got captured by how different everything appears from what we are used to. Starting from the small things: you’ll feel like an illiterate again and moving around might seem challenging at first. Once you get used to the discomfort, you’ll discover that also food is not something you are used to and the safe choices will be dumplings and Beijing duck, but it would be a shame to miss out on fruits like the Durian and the water apple – difficult to find in the Western world and worth a try.
If you feel adventurous, in local markets you should also try the dried fishes that are conserved in craters just by the side of the road. A lot to take in, while the bright lights of the city from Victoria’s peak at night will mesmerise you!
