F is for the FOOD we eat when traveling! I must admit that there are a million pictures below and some are my own plates. If the plate is full of desserts . . .odds are that plate is in front of Mark!
These first few photos are food from Germany.
I loved Schnitzel!
The bowl below is full of fresh fruit . . . and I can't remember
if that is ice cream or gelato or . . .
I also love gravy but I have no idea what some of the things on this plate actually are!
I loved the pretzels in Germany!! I was eating one in the airport as we were preparing to fly home!
The next section of food pictures is from Egypt, Turkey, and Greece.
The gyro below was ONE of my favorite foods -- I think we were in Athens.
We did have a great selection of vegetables on the cruise ship!
We had pastitio several times in Egypt and I loved it. I think the photo below was not in Egypt though because we didn't eat any fruit or raw veggies in Egypt.
Here is one of Mark's dessert plates.
I LOVE pita bread and feta cheese.
I loved the peas and carrots we had at one of the restaurants.
Guess who had gelato? Not me!
I love seeing food and spices in the markets.
We were in Istanbul and I think I may have eaten a hamburger that day!!
We were served rice in almost every restaurant.
Rice . . .and more chicken kebobs!
In many of the lunch restaurants, we had "salads" to share.
You know that if the opportunity presents itself, Mark is going to order the whole fish!
The food below is what the private chef cooked for us on our 3 hour sailboat tour in Santorini.
The food is displayed beautifully and there is always plenty.
In Israel, there is a lot of chicken and rice, too PLUS wonderful hummus.
All sorts of good stuff on the plate below!
There is always an amazing bread table with homemade granola, too!
Here is a dinner plate (below). Israel has great fruit and vegetables.
Once again -- a whole fish -- guess whose plate? Not mine!
I think this next section of photos is from Italy and Austria.
The pesto pasta below may have been one of our favorite dishes. Mark doesn't even like pasta, but he liked this!
Just about anywhere in the world, you can grab a sandwich! This was at our first stop after we got off the plane in Rome!! We split it and it was yummy!!
This was a thick soup with a swirl of cream -- we were at our quaint hotel in Austria.
Yum!
One day, Mark and I walked down to a local restaurant in Austria. This was one of the best burgers and fries -- delish!
While we were in the same village, I walked to the local grocery store which is one of my favorite things to do. We actually had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a pretzel roll. It was great!
Are you an adventurous eater when you travel? Do you order the whole fish? Do you stick with the safe choices?
An interesting thing about me is that I always come home at least 10 pounds lighter -- we walk a lot and I think the food is often healthier!
Your food pictures look delicious! I'd order a whole fish too if I could!
ReplyDeleteYou and my husband would get along well while eating those whole fish!!
DeleteThe food looks delicious! I've had one whole fish, complete with eyes, at a Thai restaurant here in Atlanta with my daughter. I did not eat the head :). The only place I've been out of the country, aside from Canada, was Norway. While there I was mostly on a college campus being served in a cafeteria. I ate many different cheeses and whale, and lots of national dishes. I don't remember anything I didn't like except the processed meat that was sometimes served.
ReplyDeleteYou ate whale? What did it taste like? Was it rubbery? The one time I was served a whole fish, I covered its eyes!!
DeleteUm, I need to go eat something!!

I know! I want to eat, too!
DeleteOh my goodness!! Food is the best part of traveling, for sure! There are a few things in your photos I would not order for myself, but it sure all looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteFood is definitely a part of the fun of travel!!
DeleteThank goodness I had just indulged in a snack before I read this post. Otherwise, all your pictures and descriptions of so many delicious dishes would have had me running to the kitchen to stuff my face. Food is an important part of the fun of traveling. I am more adventuresome in that department than PC, who always wants McD's or pizza, even on vacation!! Beautiful photos!!
