The Food Galley. . . I Mean Gallery

Food-Related Photos From Around the World

I am not person who takes pictures of her food.  I see photos all the time on Facebook of what someone had for lunch or dinner.  I just do not see the appeal in posting photos of a chicken breast with mashed potatoes on social media.  Almost as protest, I try to abstain from taking such photos as often as I can.  Sometimes when traveling though I see something I simply cannot not photograph.  All of those random food and restaurant photos (which I refuse to put in a regular post) have now been deposited here for your enjoyment.  And now the awesome, the disgusting, and the truly random food gallery.

Iguana stew with black beans and rice from Roatan, Honduras.  

Look at that close up of tasty/gross iguana skin in the stew.

Animal, vegetable, or mineral?  All wrong, this lychee-like is fruit, originally from China and now cultivated all over the tropics.

These heart attacks on a plate hail from Pink's hotdog stand in L.A.

A volcanic drink for a volcanic island: Kona, Hawaii.

Yes, the folks from Duck Dynasty have a restaurant in Louisiana, and I ate there after becoming a vegetarian.  My options were limited, but the service was good.

My brother awaiting some conveyer belt sushi near Baraber's Point, Hawaii.

I couldn't help myself from taking a photo of this vending machine in the Madrid airport.  Notice how the shandy (an alcoholic beverage, usually a mix of beer and juice) is cheaper than the soda I wanted to buy.

This taco bell in central California has a take out window for its beach-going customers.

My first taste of poke (chopped raw tuna with rice, ginger, and spices or sauces) on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The largest sake bomb waterfall I have ever seen in Santa Cruz, California.

The big Texan in Amarillo, Texas, home of the 72 oz steak challenge.  Eat a shrimp cocktail, baked potato, salad,  roll with butter, and a 72 oz steak in a hour and your meal is free.  Resultant medical procedures are not covered.

I've never seen coffee art as beautiful before or since Verve in Capitola, California.
