'A ligean ar a fháil ar dhá sailéid taobh idir triúr againn agus a roinnt'.. na focail sin dreaded. Tá mé a joke beag, a quip, Ní greannmhar ar chor ar bith i ndáiríre ach uirlis beag díospóireacht agus comhráite faoi extremism chun deflect thar dinnéir saoire taitneamhach le carnabhóirí. Anseo Téann sé arís, A rá liom i gcónaí do dhaoine go bhfuil 'ceart go leor chomh fada agus nach bhfuil tú úsáid a bhaint as do chuid gabhlóga meaty. Má dhéanann muid go ligeann a fháil ar roinnt forcanna níos mó. 'Ar ndóigh, mé gur mhaith ach i bhfad a fháil in áit mo sailéad taobh féin agus nach é a roinnt agus sin de ghnáth cad a tharlaíonn tar éis dom a lua na forcanna meaty. I dont liom a itheann feoil agus mé i dont iarraidh a ithe píosaí beag bídeach feola fágtha ó dhaoine codanna de bó marbh nó iasc marbh scoffing. Agus i gCúba, i dont fiú smaoineamh ar cad atá ar siúl sa chistin.
The group I joined in Havana noted an absence of hangovers in spite of all the late night partying and we put it down to the organic rum.
‘It sounds absurd, of course. But the headwaiter at the Hotel Nacional said you gave his dog poisoned whisky. Why should you give a dog whisky at all? I don’t understand. Nor does he. He thinks perhaps because it was a German dog. You don’t say anything, Mr Wormold.’ From Graham Greene’s ‘Our Man in Havana’
Bhí cuma mhaith ar na glasraí sin 🙂 Déanaim iarracht gan smaoineamh ar a bhfuil ar siúl sa chistin an iomarca. Have been in situations travelling where there was literally nothing I could eat, being offered platefuls of meat and/or fish with no vegetables at all, and I almost ground to a halt with hunger, especially when I was trying to be vegan. Bheadh sé só sailéad a roinnt le dornán itheoirí feola meat Cad atá le déanamh? Some countries you know it’s just going to be a big problem but you really want to go there so it’s a case of getting through a week or so of bread, rice and biscuits. Uaireanta bím i mo chónaí ar mo stash de bharraí gránach 🙂 Is é an rogha eile saoire ‘veggie’’ sa chás nach é easpa bia vegetarian ceist mhór an turais agus ábhar an chomhrá ag gach béile 🙂 Ba mhaith liom dul chun na hAfraice ionas go mbeidh sé sin … interesting. Hoping to avoid too many ‘bush meat’ scenarios …
I found its surprising to see so many fresh vegetables being sold in markets (for the locals obviously) and so few in restaurants. Im really glad I visited Cuba in spite of the confusion over vegetarianism and there were always the Italian restaurants to fall back on. Another reason that ‘veggie holidays’ are good is that no one opposite you slicing into a big slab of flesh is going to say ‘so why dont you eat meat?'!
Whereabouts in Africa do you want to go? I worked in Tanzania, East Africa and was delighted how easy it was to follow a vegetarian diet. The majority of restaurants were run by Indians families displaced from Uganda. I was invited to a party in a temple in Mwanza where a huge selection of different delicious dishes were served and they were all vegetarian…so East Africa will be no problem (or North with the couscous)…
Go raibh maith agat … is iontach an rud é 🙂 Ná bíodh plean nithiúil agat don Afraic go fóill, other than wanting to see elephants !! Cuba Martin (sounds like a cocktail) was talking about Zambia. I quite fancy somewhere small like Botswana/Okavango delta … what usually happens is I have the idea rolling round my head and then something appears … cosúil le Cúba / Skyros / Berkoff tharla feadh 🙂
Well Africa is a fantastic place to go!
This is a Rough Guide kind of question but … when do you think is the best time of year to go?
Well when it rained it was spectacular but I had a long time there. It pounds down on the roof and leaves and is amazing to watch. If I going on holiday I would avoid this though! In the dry season the animals congregate at the water holes so this is a thing to consider for safaris. The dry and wet season vary from region to region as does the heat. I went on fantastic safaris to the Serengeti. You could also go and see the migration of the wilderbeest..
Go raibh maith agat 🙂
i simply wished to say greetings! wonderful web site incidentally.
