Dec 05 - “Ahí se come bien”
By Famous words of a dear, close friend who has probably said this sentence more times than there are food places in Gibraltar; and I’m not complaining. As a big-time-food-lover I like nothing more than the advice of a fellow gourmand; especially when my indecisiveness makes me stick to two or three safe bets and a handful of dishes. My problem: I am not scared of trying new things, but I have FOMO. “What if instead of going to Mamma Mia I go to Saffron and missed out on something incredible?” Is what goes through my head every time. But that’s not really a problem; the fact that we have enough to choose from is good. From Italian to Filipino, we’ve got it all but it really feels like we’re missing out on the most basic thing.
