No! Not churros! Horrible things. What's that other, much more delicious street food. Tudl? Something like that. Delicious. Not med though.

Think of all that North African and Lebanese food, not to mention Jewish. They are all mediterranean food; paklava and all those sweets and patisseries oozing syrup and nuts.

It looks as if they are being economical with the truth. It is only part of the diet that we are supposed to eat well that's no good at all

But not necessarily all of them, every day.

is being promoted yet again as best for our health and to keep our brains active into old age.

We are told that fresh fish, olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables are all so good for us as part of the Mediterranean Diet, that is why peoples of the Mediterranean live such long and healthy lives.

So does this include the carbonara with cream, the Sicilian sausage, grilled cheese, pannacotta, panettone, tiramisu, gelato, baklava, tarte tatin, pots au chocolat etc?
They are all part of 'the Mediterranean diet' aren't they?
Is it OK to eat them as long as we eat our fish, olive oil and five a day first?
