Uruguayan National dish today, in Bar Tinkal, Montevideo, Chivito! Steak, cheese, bacon, fried egg, ham lettuce and tomato. Very good too! And the rules are you must eat with your hands!

The Paraguayan National dish is Sopa Paraguay (Paraguay soup). But it’s a stodgy cornbread which has done very poorly in my subjective National dish rankings after trying two!

Scranned a couple of decent sandwiches in SΓ£o Paulo.

First up was the mortadella in Bar do ManΓ© in the Municipal market.

Then it was the home of the Bauru, Ponto Chic, to have the original roast beef and four cheese. The recipe is classed as heritage and can’t be changed by law!

Couldn’t go to Tashkent and not visit the famous Hotel Uzbekistan, the first hotel in the country and a brutalist architecture masterpiece!

Got stuck into the National dish in Uzbekistan! Plov, a mix of meat, vegetables, rice and spices.

Heading off on my first trip of the year soon, so thought I’d start using Bluesky to share some previous trips, starting with a photo from a weekend away in Andorra in 2023!
