Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

The weird, wacky and the down right unforgivable

ITALY | Monday, 30 July 2007 | Views [298]

Brett has a habit of picking random things off the menu that he has no idea about. A great way to taste the local food? Yes, especially when it's raw minced horse meat. Needless to say, he never finished the dish.

'My dad makes the best marinated Carp that you eat raw' Matej, my work colleague, states. 'What, raw?!' is my reply. We knew that Carp was the traditional dish for Xmas but raw marinated Carp during the year? I can honestly admit I was skeptical of this delicacy but Matej assured me that once you try it you won't be able to turn back. And I have to admit, he was right. Marinated in x amount of secret herbs and spices this fish tasted absolutely delicious.
