"Lunch Time: A Gastronomic Journey Around the World" As the clock strikes noon, signaling lunch time, our taste buds awaken in anticipation of a delightful culinary adventure. Inspired by Hogarth's "Four Times of the Day, " we embark on a journey through various cultures and flavors. In Brasov, Romania, Mici steals the show with its delicious traditional sausages. These mouthwatering treats are both tasty and spicy, leaving us craving for more. The aroma fills the air as locals indulge in this beloved lunchtime delicacy. Meanwhile, across Europe in Torre de Moncorvo, Portugal, fried fish from the Sabor river takes center stage. This local specialty is considered a true delicacy that tantalizes our palates with its crispy texture and unique flavor profile. Heading east to Georgia, we discover Lobio stewed beans served in ceramic pots alongside Adjaruli Khachapuri – Georgian traditional food at its finest. The rich flavors of these dishes transport us to Tbilisi in the Caucasus region where every bite tells a story steeped in tradition and culture. Not far away lies Sofia, Bulgaria where trout fillet with vegetables reigns supreme during lunchtime. Freshly caught from pristine rivers nearby, this dish offers a healthy yet indulgent option for those seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Back on British soil but still embracing maritime vibes is Yachting on the Clyde engraving. While not directly related to cuisine per se; it reminds us that sometimes lunchtime can be spent enjoying leisurely activities like sailing while savoring light bites or refreshing drinks aboard. Finally returning to Georgia once again brings us face-to-face with Khinkali - Georgian dumplings filled with beef or lamb. These juicy delights burst with savory goodness as we revel in their authentic taste amidst Tbilisi's vibrant streetscape.
