Europe Trip Recap: Jíst-Essen-Mangiare

I think one of I love most about traveling is sampling the local food. Prior to when I got sick I had previously been eating vegetarian, but just as I had last year on my trip to China, I planned to break from eating veggie to enjoy the food to the fullest. We found lots of amazing food in Europe, ranging from tradition fare to modern delights enjoyed by the Europeans. Indian food and curry was very popular everywhere we went. I enjoyed watching what the young European girls ate and drank. Eating out was one of my favorite things to do on our trip. Here is a sample of some of the foods we enjoyed .

German Pastries
Wiener schnitzel
A fabulous salad from and Indian Restaurant in Germany.
There was pineapple, strawberries and melons in it.
Dumplings in Prague
Potato soup
Sausage and sauerkraut in Prague.
Espresso Breakfast Box in Vienna, we went back twice for this because I loved it so much.
Pizza!Prosciutto and Ham in Italy.
Pasta and Seafood in Venice!
