    Avalonburger

    There are few things more comforting in life than biting into a burger in a cosy pub, surrounded by your closest friends. A sensation I'm not going to enjoy for a while.

    This wasn't quite the last supper, more the last lunch. The burger was no better or worse than the several hundred I have gobbled down over the last dozen or so years I have lived in The Big Smoke. Oh, okay then, it was a step above the norm. But pretty much any burger with bacon and cheese would have done the job. Comfort food at its finest.

    London I'll miss you, and your burgers, very much.

    Amigos, I'll miss you more than you can ever imagine...

    Last supper with my Mama and step-father Robin before heading off to a land down under. They treated us to a delightful nosh up at funky new neighbourhood hang out Cookie.

    Tasty antipasti to start with, marvellous Scottish mussels, all sorts of other delicacies, washed down with the finest of fine wines. See ya later Jimmy!

    Cookie styles itself (rather successfully) as a new kind of eatery, incorporating a deli, cookery and every kind of food event. It certainly didn't disappoint.

    Been a bit of a mad dash to get to the finish line while we plan our lightening fast zip round the UK and our imminent relocation Down Under. 

    So here are selected culinary highlights from Rio. We are running out of readies, so mostly stayed away from restaurants in the swanky suburbs.

    Brazilian food is meat heavy, mostly mixed with huge platters of heavy veggies, washed down with beer in abundance. I don't think the French have much to worry about!

    Cartagenastreet

    Spent the afternoon strolling the perfectly preserved colonial streets. It's a Sunday, so we struggled to find anywhere open for lunch. Eventually turned a corner and found a chap selling giant big egg filled dough balls and tropical squash in a bag. Job done!

    Wonderful shady surroundings, just back from the main street: spectacular succulent steak, delicious daiquiris and marvellous mojitos.

    Really ace design too, kind of Moroccan/Colombian/French fusion and all the better for that
     
    Dinner for two (though all Chelle had was a plate of fish fritters): 50,000 Copas (£17.50, US$25, AU$29)

    Aguila

    We've visited a dozen countries this year, tasting some truly brilliant beers and some absolute shockers.

    Colombia's finest, Aguila (eagle in Spanish) certainly falls into the former category: deliciously flavoursome.

    Brewed by the Bavaria Brewery: a Colombian brewery company founded in April 4, 1889 by Leo S. Kopp, a German immigrant.

    After skipping the hassles of Cartagena, we've been enjoying fresh fish on the beach in dusty old Taganga, a fishing village just over the hill from Santa Marta on the Caribbean coast. The village is a refuge for lost souls and the majority of tourists are Israeli's kicking back after military service. The food is super fresh (last night we watched the local teens pull a huge haul out the sea).

    We had some fun ordering at Kiosko 7 but ended up with a very tasty fish and a shellfish combo. Yummy...
     
    Lunch for two: 40,000 Copas (£14, US$20:30, AU$23)
