Most colourful Italian focaccia flat bread from Liguria I found yesterday in Torino, Turin, Italy, some of the most colourful and more tasty focaccia flat breads ever seen in this shop right in the city centre: Focacceria Roberta Via San Tommaso 8,  Focaccia genovese Focaccia genovese , marked by its finger-sized holes on its surface is brushed or sprinkled with  olive oil , coarse salt, and sometimes water before the final rise. In Genoa, focaccia is eaten in the morning at breakfast or during the day. It is often dipped in milk or in cappuccino at breakfast and eaten warm and wet. Ligurian variants Focaccia has countless variations along the Ligurian coast, from the biscuit-hard  focaccia secca  ('dry focaccia') to the corn-flour, oily, soft Voltri version, some bearing little resemblance to the Genoese version. An extreme example is  focaccia col formaggio  ('focaccia with cheese'), also called  focaccia di Recco  ...

Details of London. Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 Truman's Brewery   was a large East London brewery and one of the largest brewers in the world at the end of the 19th century. Founded around 1666, the   Black Eagle Brewery   was established on a plot of land next to what is now   Brick Lane   in London, E1. It grew steadily until the 18th century when, under the management of   Benjamin Truman , and driven by the demand for   porter , it expanded rapidly and became one of the largest brewers in London. Its growth continued into and through the 19th century with the expansion of its brewery and pub estate. In 1873, it purchased Philips Brewery in Burton and became the largest brewery in the world. The situation changed for Truman's in the 20th century as it had to come to terms with the rise of lager, cheaper competition from imports and the conso...

I found another Citroen H Van in London. This one was earning is living as a Creperie close to Southbank Centre Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 The Citroën H Van, Type H, H-Type or HY is a panel van (light truck) produced by the French car maker Citroën between 1947 and 1981. It was developed as a simple front wheel driven van after World War II. A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years in factories in France and Belgium. Like the 1934 Citroën Traction Avant, the H had a unitary body with no separate frame, four-wheel independent suspension, and front-wheel drive. For a commercial van, this combination provided unique benefits - a flat floor very close to the ground, and 6 ft (180 cm) standing height, with a side loading door. The distinctive corrugated body work used throughout the period of production was inspired by German Junkers (Aircraft) starting from the First World War until the 1930s, the t...

In this cereal cafe in Brick Lane, Lodon, you can chose among over 100 types of cereals for yoru breakfast.  The place is interesting and cereals should be good, as there are huge long queues outside the door of people waiting for their breakfast .

London Food Experience.  Food from Myanmar, Burma Food discoveries are infinite in London. This stall selling street food from Burma, Myanmar, was in the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, on Sunday.  Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 The women selling the food are actually Burmese from Burma. This salad tasted just like any other European carrots and broccoli salad, but it is nice to know that also Buddhist monks in that far away country eat it.

Tao O is a small village in the southern tip of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. In the street markets here, more than in any other part of Hong Kong, you can find the strangest sea creatures and fish sold. These sun dried monk fish looked like animals from another planet. I have no idea how to use them in the kitchen! Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 Tai O (Chinese: 大澳) is a fishing town, partly located on an island of the same name, on the western side of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. Geography On the southwest part of Lantau Island, a river splits to the north and west and at this fork lies the island referred to as Tai O. Two pedestrian bridges cross the river on its northern and western forks. The village is located mostly on the banks of the river. The western and northern parts of the island facing the South China Sea are uninhabited. History Stories that would be impossible to substantiate have...
