Today on the thrilling culinary adventure with Luke Martin, we embark on a journey to Madera, where the taste buds are in for a wild ride. Our fearless food explorer dives headfirst into the unknown, starting with the mysterious black Scabbard fish at By the Sea restaurant. But hold on tight, because this dish comes with a twist - fried banana. Yes, you heard that right. Luke and Mink bravely take on this unconventional pairing, discovering that the unlikely combo actually works surprisingly well. It's a culinary rollercoaster you won't want to miss.
Next up, they venture into the world of limpets, a local seafood delight cooked with garlic butter and lemon. The flavors are described as unique and delightful, showcasing the rich culinary tapestry of Madera. Then, it's time to quench their thirst with Nikita, a drink blending pineapple ice cream and white wine at Ray du Pancha. Luke savors the fruity and refreshing concoction, highlighting the island's knack for unexpected flavor combinations. And let's not forget about Amoria, a drink featuring bitter almond liqueur that adds a zesty twist to the tasting experience.
But the adventure doesn't stop there. Luke introduces us to boo deel, a traditional Madeiran honey cake with a rich history dating back to the 15th century. The cake, made with sugar cane syrup and a blend of exotic ingredients, offers a sweet and aromatic journey through time. And just when you thought the excitement couldn't get any higher, they take on a thrilling toboggan ride down a mountain, experiencing the adrenaline rush of this popular tourist activity in Madera. Join Luke Martin as he uncovers the hidden gems of Portuguese cuisine in a way that only he can - with passion, curiosity, and a taste for the extraordinary.
