Been traveling and learnt some new things to share

I always learn a new thing on an adventure, and it goes in my knowledge stack for next time

the first one I am sure my American friends will laugh. I honestly did not know you can get sauce or dressing "on the side" Even though I have seen When harry Met Sally

I was giving a poor waitress an interrogation about some sauce and she had no clue what was in it. She suggested I have it on the side Astonished ! Well, I licked it , loved it and ate it so I don't come out all that saintlike there as Im sure I got a headache But just this knowledge I can ask for things on the side is really going to be useful in future. ( Doesn't always mean I should follow through and eat it lesson learned)

On the other hand, another place got so enthused about my request for no sugar, went and checked with the chef because the salad had mint in it and she thought it might have natural sugars. Loved her.

Now I know to always buy a pack of salmon with dill and lemon even though I don't think I need it because you can bet in 10 days time I will and have never seen it since...……... and its turns out worth carting it about. If any opportunity presents itself just grab it ( same applies to saving my unused buffet butter and peanut butter sachets )

My fave though was a glass jar of cubed feta in oil will serve as a salad dressing in places where its a bit dodgy AND a top up protein. It perhaps wasn't my favourite oil, but good enough is good enough when I'm doing the best I can Probably vowing to never travel without it, it was so handy
