Eating in Europe

 

    Let's talk food. People on trips seem to take bunches of photos of food. I expect it is because it is often good and different from home. Have to say that if all else fails the world is filled with Subways

and McDonalds. But my appetite has been cured locally in Europe. There are snails in France (with enough garlic you will not notice the snails). In Germany is it the schnitzel. Chicken is my preferred. In Prague (see photo above) the sausage from a street vendor was wonderful. In Africa every meal means pap while in Europe it can be grits.  We have a favorite meat pie shop in London on Rathburn Street down from a super Indian Restaurant.   I will tell you that I like Haggis and black pudding despite knowing what they are made from. Skip the pig joint in Munich. It tastes good, but is difficult to eat. We had a great lunch in rural Spain - had to point to it on another table and it was super but I don't know what it is.

    Colcannon in Ireland is delightful but you can skip the donkey meat ragu in Italy. I could go on and on, but most importantly you need to sample new foods and enjoy. You can always come home to meatloaf.
