On the other hand Don, I - living in Newcastle upon Tyne, within walking distance of the (Charles) Grey's Monument - prefer mostly coffee and an occasional cup of tea. And I used to debate with my late-Godmother over whether the milk/soya (in my case) should go in first (her) or last (me - that way we can get the correct amount visually).
And I've also enjoyed those cuisines you and FT mention - DURING MY TRAVELLING - which was, in hindsight, the eco-travel/eco-tourism you questioned.
However, trying to have a multiple number of cultures living under the one state law will always cause problems - the UN should agree to stop economic/capitalist immigration/emigration (including the American Green Card lottery system) FROM NOW ON. Further, it IS much more difficult for tourists to terrorize.
