eating my way around the world.

a big part of travelling for me is trying all the local cuisine. i love food and in my eyes, visiting a place without eating local specialities is not truely visiting a place at all. the holiday recently was no exception, we feasted like royals and really struck it lucky with amazing restaurants and markets

prague - czech style beef tartare

feasting

prague - pork knee with horseradish and mustard, creamed spinach and beans with bacon

vienna - wiener schnitzel - i craved this for days after. so good.

vienna - giant sushi, Gene thinks it's close to the best he's ever had

wasabi face

budapest - goulash

budapest - baked mozzarella

budapest - hungarian burger with homemade bread and fried smoked pork leg. yum.

cutest menu at the burger market stall

omelette with fresh orange juice from the cutest little italian cafe - Nostro Gastronomy

holiday.

two weeks ago we went on holiday. i can now tick Prague, Vienna & Budapest off my list.

the sun was shining (most of the time), the beer was flowing and boy it was good, we ate like royals and tried all the local dishes, experienced another side of Europe, walked for miles, enjoyed the beautiful architecture, soaked in thermal baths, day dreamed about the summer to come and took hundreds of photos.
