Azerbaijan
If Seamus was writing this post, I expect it would read somewhat differently. Azerbaijan food has certainly been the most decisive so far, especially in relation to the wine. Eurovision song contests aside, I don’t know that much about Azerbaijan … Continue reading

Austria
There are two Austrian beer houses in London: the awesomely named Tiroler Hut and Bodo’s Schloss, a new chalet /discotheque (!) in Kensington. While I was kind of looking forward to an Austrian style knees-up, complete with blonde waiter, wooden … Continue reading
Australia

Algeria
Seamus’ geographic knowledge is pretty impressive. I have no idea what I was doing during Geography lessons at school. Courtesy of Wikipedia, I have just learnt that Algeria – the tenth largest country in the world – is a North … Continue reading
Albania
We were only able to locate one Albanian restaurant in London and it was found in Maida Vale, an area that I’ve always assumed to be super posh. Given this assumption and the fact that Albanian night fell on a … Continue reading
