The UN has announced this week that we, by which I mean people, not just the dealchecker population, need to eat more insects. In the words of Alice in Wonderland “I can’t very well have more”, precisely because I have never eaten a dish that knowingly contained insects. Unless you count that fly I accidentally [...]
Our intrepid Mother Hen (aka the person who looks after all our Real Deals subscribers) Zoe has been off travelling again, and has come back brown as a nut, with some decidedly dodgy Durian Fruit sweets and plenty of tales of Thailand. So of course we had to get her to spill the beans! But [...]
At dealchecker we do love a bargain. And a holiday. And where can you bargain whilst on holiday? Why, at the market of course. When it comes to colourful markets few places can beat the vibrancy of south-east Asia. Tropical heat, exotic fruits, rich fabrics, urgent haggling and erm… adventurous street foods create a heady [...]
As we all know, New Year is a time to make resolutions that you’ll keep for…oh, three weeks or so, if they haven’t gone out of the window already. However, when it comes to your steadfast resolve that this year you WILL go away for a fantastic holiday – well, that’s one promise that’s somehow [...]
Freezing fog, icy roads and heavy snowfall have us here at dealchecker convinced that we may never be warm again. It didn’t help that we’re just thawing out from our Christmas party, which saw us dashing around Covent Garden for hours finding the answers to numerous clues! What we need is some good, flavoursome and [...]
PANIC! You’ve not bought any Christmas presents, you’ve got loads on at work, and you’ve hardly even got any time to pack for your winter sun holiday – let alone work on that bikini body! And the dreaded party season is on the horizon too, where salty and fatty nibbles lurk by copious amounts of [...]
There’s not long left to tell us where you think Eve is in our competition! Why enter? For the £1000 holiday fund of course! So get yourself over there and have a go. Not sure how you could spend this giant pile of free cash? You could blow the lot or eke it out into [...]
We know you lot love to go on holiday and party – who doesn’t? But arrests of British tourists are on the rise, and we’re feeling all Mother Hen about it. Spain, Thailand and the USA have seen a bigger increase than anywhere else, so holidaymakers here should be especially aware. We want you to [...]
You might think that that trip to Ibiza is an absolute bargain because you only paid £50 for your return flights, but you’ll have a nasty surprise once you get to the Balaeric paradise to realise that average entry to a nightclub is around the £60 mark and the restaurants are similarly purse-obliterating! With this [...]
Dishes that inspire people to travel right to the source.
Visiting India, Thailand and other places in Asia needn’t just be about getting the best cheap flights and spending two weeks sunning yourself in an exotic location. Consider exploring some of the area’s heritage too, and just as the huge St Peter’s Basilica in Moscow and Notre Dame de Paris have become huge tourist attractions, [...]
“We’re used to horses and dogs making a valuable part of the UK police force, but that’s nothing compared to Sai Buri district in southern Thailand, where a pig-tailed macaque monkey named Santisuk regularly patrols the streets. Have the authorities gone bananas?” Hands up, I did find this week’s news story on a site called [...]
