Are you going to eat that?: The glorious Ulster Fry
http://www.food.travellingcromptons.com/2011/01/glorious-ulster-fry.html
Are you going to eat that? The world is my kitchen. Sunday, 9 January 2011. The glorious Ulster Fry. There are many, many things to love about Northern Ireland. The stunning scenery, the friendliness of the people, the fascinating history. But for me there is one shining, glimmering star among our wee country's numerous glories - the Ulster Fry. If I believed in heaven, that is what an Ulster Fry would be. And while I may, on one occasion, have indulged in putting Vegemite on my toasted soda bread, this ...

Travelling Cromptons: Hand-wash how-to for travellers
http://www.travellingcromptons.com/2012/06/hand-wash-how-to-for-travellers.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Hand-wash how-to for travellers. Fill a third of your sink with water and add detergent. 2 Add your choice of detergent to the water and swish it around a bit. There are loads of travel washes, gels and powders on the market, and some people choose to carry washing powder in a ziplock bag. I find that a bit of soap, shower gel or shampoo works just fine. It saves carrying an extra product, which lightens the load in your backpack. Dunk it thoroughly - Soak the entire article.

Are you going to eat that?: Fat in France
http://www.food.travellingcromptons.com/2010/11/fat-in-france.html
Are you going to eat that? The world is my kitchen. Friday, 26 November 2010. What is it with the French and fat? For a nation so obsessed with fat, they are an irritatingly slim and chic lot. I mean breakfast consists of a pound of butter disguised as pastry, lunch is likely to involve several courses complete with dessert AND cheese, while duck fat at dinner is de rigeur. Or maybe that's just how I ate in France? Pass me another baguette, and don't hold the butter. Thankfully the day after that stupend...

Are you going to eat that?: The Cheat Day Files
http://www.food.travellingcromptons.com/2011/09/cheat-day-files.html
Are you going to eat that? The world is my kitchen. Saturday, 3 September 2011. The Cheat Day Files. Loving food and hating exercise has a tendency to ensure I am never described as willowy. 'Not quite fat' is probably more accurate. But, you know, whatever. I like to eat. So I try to eat pretty well 6 days out of 7 by eating lots of veg, beans and lean protein. But on Saturdays I eat WHATEVER I WANT! Sometimes on Cheat Day we eat out, but mostly we spend the best part of the day planning our meals, purc...

Are you going to eat that?: The bread man cometh
http://www.food.travellingcromptons.com/2011/02/bread-man-cometh.html
Are you going to eat that? The world is my kitchen. Monday, 14 February 2011. The bread man cometh. The longer I spent in Italy the more I wanted to stay. Amazed as I was by the milk vending machine, I am personally no fan of milk itself. I just can't drink the horrid stuff (I do, however, revere what it can be turned into i.e cheese). But if there's one food product I truly love, it is bread. No, that is not a typo. Needless to say I was in shock. I bet if you could pay less to get your milk on tap when...
