It isn't really about how great the food taste, but how it looks to me. Does that make sense? Probably only to those travellers who also take pictures of their food. I am pretty sure Deb is embarrassed when I pull out my camera, but I just can't help myself. I have hundreds of pictures of interesting and not so interesting plates of food.
Europe food has a wealth of photo ops for the choosing. Everything from the fruit in markets, to the fish in buckets near the sea. I'm not picky about food...except soggy food. BUT, I have discovered an amazing dessert in London and we have now had it 3 times. 'Sticky toffee pudding' But, it is a trick. It is not pudding at all but a soft, fruitcake with a carmel or butterscotch sauce around or on it. Ice cream on the side is an added bonus....but of course not frozen yoghurt...no..no..no...REALLY ICE CREAM!! Yippee for the Brits.
No trip to London would be without traditional Fish and Chips. Yummy! You can find it in every Pub. As well, 'Steak and Ale' pie is a staple in all the Pubs. Really fantastic especially with 'mushy peas' on the side.
For breakfast cappuccino, fruit smoothie and homemade porridge fills up the belly. Rick Steves, the travel guru, says "Europeans take breakfast as seriously as we take flossing." (I floss). I get his point though. Some sort of caffeine and a sweet pastry and they are off and running...in London Victoria Tube Station anyways.
The newest, best discovery in London, for us, is what is called 'SNOG.' I know...sounds horrid....but it is an organic, natural, frozen yoghurt, served with ANY kind of fruit or sweet topping. Deb and I had it with passion fruit, mangos and pineapples. OMG!!! Fantastic. I think it is only found here so far.
Never saw that in Italy....ooohhh...gelato.
