Traveler’s Show & Tell – 15th Edition

Welcome to Traveler’s Show & Tell: a weekly round-up of travel-related posts from the blogosphere. This week, Spicy Meatball makes a case for the city of Dublin, Ohio in a post entitled Why You Should Live in the Real Emerald City posted at The Spicy Meatball. According to her: The beauty of Dublin is that it has something for everyone — snobs, hippies, and everyone in between. And I always thought Seattle was the Emerald City!

As the name suggests, his article shows photos of school cafeteria food from around the world. Rice is a common theme, although the United States had tater tots. Overall, I thought China’s meal looked the most appetizing. Speaking of food, I thought I’d toss in my post about the etiquette of food photography, Should Restaurants Ban Diners from Photographing Food?, in which I muse that: There has got to be a happy medium…

Three Things to Love about Southern Italy

This week’s guest post comes from the fabulous, Cherrye Moore, a Texan who now lives in Italy. (You may remember her funny post a few weeks ago about her nephew stumbling upon a topless sun-bather while visiting her in Italy.) Here’s her official biography: Cherrye Moore is an American writer and travel consultant living in southern Italy. You can read more about life in Calabria on her site My Bella Vita or join her this fall for the Calabria Table Tour, an 8-day cooking, food and wine tour of Calabria. I’m thinking that Calabria Table Tour sounds like a blast!…
