Try something different

The panel in the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, BC containing the words above, written by Ralph Regenvanu, has stayed with me from the very moment I first read it. Food is such an important part of life and brings people together. I’ve always said that it’s the one thing in life that we absolutely need to do, so we may as well do it well.

There’s little point in travelling thousands of kilometers away from home just to go and eat food that you usually get from down the block. On The Coddiwomple Express we celebrate the new and the different and everything about a cuisine that makes it special and unique. Nothing is too strange so long as it was prepared with the intention of being eaten – this isn’t about trickery or daring someone to do something stupid. The dining car is the place to read about some of the many amazing meals that have been served on The Coddiwomple Expresss whether it’s a michelin star restaurant or lazy self-catering from the farmer’s market – every country does it differently.
