...from the wine district east of Cape Town, and crayfish bisque with wild fennel. Mains include loin of springbok wrapped in marogo, a type of leafy vegetable, and cured bacon. There's also kingklip, an eel-like fish served with wild garlic and vegetable sosaties, a sweetly marinated kebab popular in South Africa.

Last summer I and several other TIME staff members were fortunate to be just out of harm's way when a suicide bomber struck a kebab stand near the shops. The blast took the bomber's head clear off his body and sent it rolling down the road to Wisam's feet. He kicked it away dismissively...

In Baghdad, the 9 p.m. curfew means that the traditional family outings of summer--an evening picnic on the banks of the Tigris, dinner at a kebab restaurant or a late-night drive to an ice cream parlor--are all out of the question. Visiting with friends and family is impossible unless you're prepared to go early and stay overnight. It's an especially frustrating time for children; although it's the summer break, parents are reluctant to let kids out of the house. Danger hides everywhere. Last...
