Fish & Chips

Forgot to share an interesting breakfast food that Ricky had this morning. Basically, we've been enjoying a really nice breakfast buffet complete with an omelete "bar" and the standard American fare (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc.). Lots of fresh fruit and pastries. And then there is the local food, most of which I cannot even describe. Suffice it to say we stuck with the fruit and omeletes. At any rate, one of the more "special" foods is what I would call dried fish. They're basically whole fish (I presume minus the entrails) about 3 times the size of a sardine, but dried like a fish chip. Steph was helping serve Ricky this morning and he wanted a couple of them. Thought she was gonna gag right there on the spot. Nothing like having your breakfast stare back at you! I know Ricky likes fish and fishing, but this might be taking it too far. Ha. I may have to try one tomorrow (Jo - would you like me to bring one home for you?).
Maybe they'll have monkey brains tomorrow.
