Does it really matter what virtual food you think you may/may not have on a virtual cruise, on a virtual ship on a virtual river? Really? StarDreamer has just tried to interest people in finding new and exciting places to discover that people like me will never have the opportunity to visit in real life and I've thoroughly enjoyed being shown places that I never knew existed. If you don't like the premise of how he would like to do his virtual tour, no one is being bound, gagged and conscripted to join in; it isn't compulsory to read the thread or join in. It's just a bit of harmless fun. That's all.

An extract from 'Working Abroad'

The Relationship Between Food, Culture and Travel

Food and culture are uniquely intertwined with one another. Trying new dishes from a country you’re visiting allows you to get a real flavour for what it’s like to live there, no pun intended. Various ingredients, dishes and seasonings are passed down through food which contributes to the culture of a country. Introducing your taste buds to new delicacies is a surefire way to better understand the history and traditions of the country you’re visiting ...

And again, same article,

I find it interesting to see how our own biases are often challenged or exposed when visiting a new country and travelling around the world. Food can most definitely help you to see the world from a new perspective and gain an understanding or appreciation for what you are able to eat and find at the grocery on a daily basis. Trying a new food can also show or be seen as a sign of respect for the culture you’re being introduced to. Though it may be out of your comfort zone, in my experience, I’ve found that opening up to people through food is a great way to bond and learn about one another ...

Wow, look at this creation. If you look closely it is made with different types of pasta! Only in Italy.

You are welcome to have whatever food you like on this virtual cruise. StarDreamer @ 19.49

Wow indeed Joseanne! that's absolutely magnificent in its madness! Is it part of an exhibition or art installation do you know?

That person must be a pastafarian.

pastafarian Damn you're quick MissAdventure!

That's compulsory.
Creamy mash and roasted, caramelized onions. A mere smidge of a calorie.

Chewbacca

pastafarian Damn you're quick MissAdventure!

I'm so quick I meet myself coming back, sometimes.
Others, not.
Smart arse, I think it's called.

I think it is an example of sculptures that can be made with pasta. A form of basic Art! We used to make pasta pictures using different shapes with the children in school. And if anyone gets hungry .....
