An introduction
I am a philosophy major hailing from New Hampshire, USA, but have been studying for the past three years in Montreal, CA. I have just recently moved to Edinburgh to complete my final year of university as an exchange student at the University of Edinburgh.
I have been told that when I was a small child just beginning to speak there was a phrase I would utter at the dinner table with a nervous and uncertain air, “But, what if I want more?”. I have never been denied food or made to go hungry. I simply love food with a passion, always have, and always will. I love learning about food, trying new foods, finding interesting recipes, exploring specialty shops, and enjoying cultural experiences at restaurants.
Having recently arrived in Edinburgh the city is even more enticing for a curious foodie like myself. There are so many restaurants and specialty stores I am anxious to explore, including The Howard and Lupe Pintos .
Though I have not been in Edinburgh long there are already a few places that I am keen to write about, including The Farmer’s Market, The Store, The Blue Parrot Cantina, Zest and Indigo Yard (for drinks).
