I adore the RD, no doubt. And before visiting, I would have laughed at you if you had tried to warn me that the number one thing that I would miss, would be ... green vegetables and a variety of vegetables.
okok, I am NOT a vegetarian, nor some health nut. I just love to eat a variety of vegetables, and I never noticed this before visiting the North Coast where salads were always iceberg lettuce, sometimes with carrots, cukes, tomatoes, and maybe some herbs. End of recipe.
Now.
I am perfectly happy to be told that my experience was unique and not representative of the food on the island. After all, it was only 4 weeks, what do I know. I did not ever go to an AI, I ate equally in homes and in restaurants - local and foreign, mostly in Samana, Las Galeras, and Las Terrenas, also near Puerto Plata and a few times in la capital.
So, here is the question --
how do you get a variety of fresh veggies.
or
do you just get over it eventually?
Yes, I realize how stupid I sound, and I do not care.
Any advice please. Thanks. Veggie Queen!
