If it was summer all year round and prices halfed (or my pension doubled), it beats Bali easily.

I can easily survive on the grub here but winter is the real deal-breaker for me. Never again! Brrrrr.

I want a bit better than "surviving" for my last years.

And as a French food is VERY important to me.

I mean, REAL food ....

But agree with you on the weather thing !

France still has a bit of a colonial Empire, but all of them very expensive and rather racist....so those were at the bottom of the list.

"....... The seafood coming from northsea, Atlantic is less likely to be contaminated to a degree that you encounter on seafood coming from a shallow sea."

Deviously and unfortunately that seems no longer to be the case with Norwegian salmon which is now farmed salmon and is said to be the most toxic food in the market. Farmed fish are fed with pellets and additives that has been shown to be carcinogenic. A Canadian TV program focusing on food production and false claims in food marketing exposed the ugly realities of farmed salmon being flogged as fresh north Atlantic salmon.

Forget to mention that food colouring is added to give the salmon a nice pink, fresh appearance to disguise the flaccid, pale look of the processed slices.

I 've been watching the sushi chef Hiro and he uses Bakkafrost Salmon. It looks good but I looked it up and it is farmed also, but near the Farroe islands. I wonder if it has all the things added as you said? I catch them wild in the Pacific straight from the sea.

Just came across this story in today's Guardian website, "‘Monstrous’ sea lice and jellyfish invasions blighting Scottish salmon farms." With ever increasing populations driving more and more mass food production it seems a concomitant is less fresh and healthy foods to more processed food with additives if not downright health risks. Here's a link to the story to which I refer.

Yes, I have watched similar documentaries about this. What they did is actually a crime. Farm Raised Norwegian salmon is labelled as Wild Caught North Atlantic salmon ended up in the supermarket seafood counter, fishmonger. People who bought it think they have got a bargain. It is the same with Tasmanian Salmons. These are just examples of the documentaries.

If it is a farmed salmon, they are treated the same anywhere in the world. They are exposed to pesticide anti biotic. Fresh North Atlantic salmon is literally the same as Scottish Salmon. The difference is just that you might get more toxins with red colour injection to have similar colour to Wild Caught Salmon North Atlantic. You pay more for more toxicity in your food.

Hurrah, at least this one admits to being a bot.
