1 {scene: Sunset, on board a ferry in the Mediterranean}
1 Prof. Jones: I can't believe you made us rush on to today's ferry to Tripoli without a decent meal.
2 Monty: There's a dining room on board. And you grabbed some panini! And rum babas for dessert!
3 Prof. Jones: Yes, but the cafe wouldn't let me take a cup of coffee to have with them.
4 Minnesota Jones: Someone should invent some sort of "take away" cup for coffee.
4 Prof. Jones: Now there's an idea.

I first experienced rum babas on a trip to Italy some years ago. I've since tried to find the same delicious sweets locally, and there are a few cake shops that make them, but somehow they've never come close to tasting as good as the ones I had in Italy.

There's something about travel food that makes it so much more exciting and interesting than anything you can get at home.
