RETURN TO KANDY Mandy was diagnosed with cancer in Kandy SRI LANKA in July 2023, and we ended up going to Kandy THREE times in total.
This definitely wasn't a hardship as there was so much delicious and HEALTHY food and drink to enjoy.
I think I was truly blessed to have been in Kandy at such a time of emotional upheaval as this city was so wonderful and calming.

veralu or sri lankan olive tasted smokey because when we make achcharu out of veralus first we boil them inside hot water with turmeric powder. if you taste veralu as it is raw it tastes very sweet sometimes sour if they are not ripe. love your guys energy cheers.

Wonderful to see you both enjoying the pleasures of Kandy. I regret to say I lost touch with your splendid videos just after you left Portugal . Mandy -- wishing you all the very best . Lee -- the last time I communicated with you I think we mentioned the books of Paul Theroux . I first visited Kandy in 1982 . Is the Olde Empire Hotel still around ? It was right beside the Sri Krishna Dosai. Best wishes to you both .

Hello there. 👋 I'm so glad you are still enjoying our videos. Kandy was a splendid place to spend some time. Yes, the Olde Empire hotel is still there, around the corner from Sri Krishna. Did Thoroux stay there? If he did, I wasn't aware. I would have stuck my head around the corner for a nose if I'd have known. 😊 We'll be doing some rail travel in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh this year so I must go back and re-read him. 👍. Stay tuned for some more fun on the road! 😍

Hi Mandy & Lee: Loving seeing your Sri Lanka adventures. Just wondering if you avoid eating any foods in order to avoid travellers upset stomachs? Do you have any tricks/ remedies to help?
@FrugalTravellers
@FrugalTravellers 8 ай бұрын
Hello Eleanor! It's always so lovely to hear from you... especially with such great travel questions. We have a few basic things we try to follow... 1) We look for busy places filled with locals, as that way the food should be fresh 2) We don't ask for ice - but we do have it in drinks from street stall juice/smoothie shops, as again, they should have a high turnaround of goods 3) We avoid empty tourist restaurants... not just because they tend to be far more expensive, but also because we don't know how old the food is out the back... and a fancy dining area doesn't necessarily mean a clean kitchen 4) I tend to forget to wash my hands before eating, and I don't use hand sanitiser. Lee likes to wash his hands before and after eating If I think of anything else I'll add it below... or we might make a travel vlog about it, and mention your question 🤗😁 Re: treatment for a dodgy stomach... we've tried riding it out, which was super painful/uncomfortable, and we've also been to the local chemist and asked fir a remedy... and that always works. We didn't suffer any bad stomachs in either Sri Lanka or the Philippines. Saying all that, the 2 worst cases of food poisoning I've ever had were in the UK and Australia 🤣🤗 ~ Mandy
@eleanorolsen7445
@eleanorolsen7445 8 ай бұрын
I agree, the worst I have ever had was from a restaurant in Australia. Normally I don’t do ice but we did have juice from breakfast buffets that had ice in it. I felt that could have been the culprit. We tell the tale of our whole group fronting up to the pharmacy all getting the same over the counter anti diarrhoea meds. Just part of the adventure. 🤨

Amla is NOT tamarind. It is called nelli by the Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. It is highly considered as a medicinal fruit used for many ailments and just to stay healthy as a prophylactic and also used as an oil for healthy hair. It looks like a green olive and has a bitter/ sweet/ sour taste combined. The botanical name is phyllanthus embllica and in English it is called Indian gooseberry. Tamarind is an entirely different fruit that has a sweet sour taste , no bitter taste. Eaten when ripe and the pulp used to give a sweet dour taste in cooking . Also used as the main ingredient in worcester sauce. Veralu looks like an olivecand has a seed inside as an unpitted olives. Howevervit is sour if eaten raw when notvtipe but it is very soft when it is ripe like a soft pulp that can be removed from your fingers and has a pleasant aroma and tastes sweet.

There is no other way than mixing both rice and curry. One of tge reasons we eat from hand is because we want to mix the food well so thae flavours can be enjoyed together Some people let the fires be like that so that the smoke drives the mosquitoes away. Some people prefer the smoke than getting bit by mosquitoes.
