Foods For LIPs: One of the Many LIP Benefits…

Posted by Lea Woodward 28 June, 2007

…is that you get to try a huge variety of foods around the world.

As a former health coach & BIG organic fan, one of the many benefits of living the Location Independent life is that you can try the local, seasonal food of the country you’re staying in.

On our journey we’ve tried:

In Panama

  • Sancocho (type of chicken soup)
  • Empanadas (pastry things stuffed with meat & veg)
  • Plantains
  • Local corvina (sea bass)
  • Balboa, Atlas & Panama beer

In Buenos Aires

  • Grass-fed, Pampas-pastured beef
  • Pizzas almost as good as in Italy
  • Red wine
  • Dulce de leche (sweet, sickly, caramelly & (over) used in desserts & cakes)
  • Yerba mate (’sociable’ tea)

In Grenada

  • Coconut water & tender flesh straight from the tree (we drink/eat this daily after our morning jog & swim)
  • Avocados picked from the tree
  • Mangoes
  • Chin ups (try as I might, I can’t find much info about these little, round, green fruits - sucked like sweets and from the lychee family)
  • Organic, award-winning chocolate (grown & made right here on the island in a solar-powered ‘factory’)
  • Rotis - flat, ‘chapati’-like bread stuffed with curried potato & meat or conch.
