What Food/Alcohol Should I Eat/Drink in Europe?

[Chromosexual]

I really have only been to the south of France and London... never been to Norway, Denmark, Germany or Austria....

We dont get anything Cuban here in the states.... nor do we get REAL Absinthe... so those 2 items are high on the list... along with my all time fave rum... Stroh... only a few states actually carry Stroh 80 + every thing else stroh is NOT sold in the USA...

So... I love rum, love German Beers.... what food/alcohol should I really try?

thanks,
Paul

Visit Holland and try the kroket and the frikandel. Very delicous.

[Jel Golf 2 GTI]

jupiler and go drink a coffee in holland :D :D

[Martyn_86C]

You should definitely try a:

Jaegerbomb (Jaegermeister und Red Bull)
or an Amaretto Coke!!!

And to eat... Come to Holland and have a Kroketje or a Frikandel! :thumbup:

[RubenD]

And the Dutch Pancake. If you go to a Pannenkoekenhuis they can serve you a Pancake as big as a Pizza. And roughly the same topping as well.

There so big it's hard to eat one let alone more than one.

In Germany, obviously a wienerschnitzel but only in a tiny local bar. They realy do know how to make those.

Old Amsterdam cheese!
Boerenkool met worst!
Brand beer!

All of them are Delicious!

[Ebut]

Stamppot zuurkool. Hete bliksem. Hutspot. Hachee. Postro.

[Tjaap]

You should definitely try a:

Jaegerbomb (Jaegermeister und Red Bull)

US invention ;)

Or the Irish:
Murphys Irish Red
http://www.brouwketel.nl/files/bieren/types/murphys.jpg
Guinness
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/blogs/study_abroad/guinness.jpg
but I think you know it.

French fries are a bit different in Holland and Belgium. the really big ones are called vlaamse friet (flamish fries)
http://www.brutsellog.eu/beeld/2006/04_APR/Frit.jpg

we don't dip it in ketchup but in mayonnaise. there is also a difference between Dutch and Belgium/French mayonnaisse (that last one has more vinegar in it)

watch and learn ;)

"Worstenbrood" (sausage-bread would be a translational) is something you can't find anywhere else I guess.

LOL, the first 10 seconds of this movie:

the things a regular dutchy misses on holidays:
-hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles)
-pindakaas (peanut butter)
but I'm sure you got this in the us too.

already mentioned:
frikandel:

Kriek beer, the best one I've tasted till now is the one Palm makes, or this one:

Mozzarella cheese with tomato. Add a little salt and pepper, a bit of olive oil or balsamico oil, and maybe some pesto:

Or you can put it on a baguette:
