What One Thing Should You Eat in these 14 European Countries?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Europe is so much more than just ancient history, kings and queens, castles and churches. Europe is also home to some of the tastiest and most interesting food in the world - but what should you eat and where? What are some examples of traditional European food? Let us show you the way...

1. Palacinky in Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is probably most famous for its great variety of pilsner beers, but the country also serves up some tasty Czech foods to soak up all that alcohol. One of the must-eat dishes in Prague are palacinky pancakes. These crepe-like desserts are filled with fruit jam and served rolled up. Try them and other Czech food specialties on a Prague food tour.

2. Currywurst in Germany

In Germany it's all about the wurst! There are hundreds of varieties of sausage in Germany but one of the most popular fast food versions ( imbiss) is currywurst. You can get currywurst either with or without the skin of the sausage (order mit darm for with, ohne darm for without), but either way the sausage comes cut up and is served with ketchup and curry powder sprinkled on top. You can choose different levels of spice and it's best when eaten with pommes (fries) and a cola.

Wanna know more? There's an entire museum dedicated to currywurst in Berlin.

3. Breakfast in England

Don't think that the Full English with eggs, ham, beans, fried tomatoes and black pudding is all that the English breakfast has to offer. Besides the good ol' fry-up, there's the greasy bacon butty sandwich. In London, you'll want to try the bacon butty sandwich at this East London bakery.

4. Pizza in Italy

There are few countries as well-known for great cuisine as Italy. And while there's more to Italian food than just pizza and pasta, you've still got to try the original. It seems most cities in Italy are competing for the best pizza, but really, you've got to try it in Naples if you can. Oh, and while you're in Italy - might as well get your fill of gelato, too!

5. Herring in Netherlands

Continuing the list of traditional European food, in the Netherlands, it's all about the herring. As a seafaring country, fish has always been a part of the national diet. With the unique Dutch herring preservation process, the small silvery fish has become a symbol of Dutch food. It's best to eat during the first catch of the season, but almost all food markets in Amsterdam and elsewhere sell the fish as a healthy snack.

6. Goulash in Hungary

The hearty Hungarians have been eating goulash for centuries. It's usually a thick stew (or sometimes a soup) with meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika. It's best served in a bread bowl and with a beer.

Slovenia might not first come to mind as a culinary destination, but the country's unique placement in central Europe means Slovenian cuisine has taken the best of its neighbouring countries' cuisines. Located between the Mediterranean, the Alps and ancient Roman sites, you'll find amazing prosciutto, fine cheeses and hearty meat dishes in Slovenia.

But it's not all savory, the sweets are good too. And the best of the best is a crepe-like dish called Štruklji. These cottage cheese pancakes are made with tarragon (usually reserved for savory dishes) and they're unique to Ljubljana (the capital). Learn more about Slovenia cuisine on the Ljubljana website.

8. Crème Catalan in Catalonia, Spain

In accordance with tradition, crème brulee may be very French, but the best custard dish (with burnt caramel) comes from Spain's northern state of Catalonia. The two countries dispute which came first, but Crème Catalan is cooked on the stove rather than the oven. Just about any trendy restaurant in Barcelona will serve the dish.

9. Crepes in France

Besides baguettes, there's nothing more French than a crepe-savoury or sweet. The best crepes are the simplest ones and can be found throughout France - we like the ones with Nutella on the inside!

10. Beer in Belgium

Okay, so beer isn't a food. But if you've been to Belgium, you'll know that beer is practically a meal here. In a country with over 150 different breweries, Belgium is spoiled for choice in types of beer. Belgium tourism has a handy guide to the many different beer breweries, festivals and tours on their website.

11. Haggis in Scotland

Sheep's stomach stuffed with oats and other spices? Don't let the description scare you -you just might be surprised how tasty it actually is! In Edinburgh, you can even get haggis burgers! And if you don't care for stuffed sheep stomach, there's always deep-fried EVERYTHING in Scotland.

12. Stew in Ireland

Maybe it's the famously blustery Irish weather, but there's little better than a good Irish stew on a wet day in Ireland. (And really - most days are wet!) Traditionally made from lamb, this stew is best when it comes with a Guinness.

13. Pierogi in Poland

It seems every culture in the world has some sort of dumplings dish and in Poland, it's called a pierogi. They come in hundreds of varieties, but most traditionally they're baked or fired in butter with onions - and almost always served with sauerkraut! They can be vegetarian (in Poland, that means potatoes) or with ground meat. Entire restaurants are dedicated to pierogi!

14. Banitsa in Bulgaria

The best of Bulgarian food lies in its Banitsa (Баница), a mixture of eggs, Bulgarian feta cheese and filo pastry baked in an oven. Served as a breakfast food, it can be eaten hot or cold, but it's delicious at any time of day. Banitsa with spinach (spanachena banitsa), milk (mlechna banitsa) or pumpkin (tikvenik/Тиквеник) are all excellent choices, and there are plenty of special bakeries just for banitsa throughout Bulgaria.

There are many things in general you can try, from salads to hot dishes, from sweets to soups. But if you want something traditional, cheap and fast - it`s definitely souvlaki. The iconic dish of Greece is a fast food that you usually can find anywhere on the streets, in the bars, in small take-out shops and cafes. You will see souvlaki over the whole country. And if you are lucky enough to be invited to a house party of Greek people - ask for mousaka. It is the best when it`s homemade.

A little glossary for a newbie:

It's hard to speak about Italian food, it's better to enjoy it. The traditional colors of Italian cuisine - red, green and yellow always create a great mixture of flavor and taste. Usually all the dishes are based on tomato, bread and olive oil. The secret of the cuisine is not in a sophisticated preparation process, it is more in the freshness of the products.

A little glossary for a newbie:

Japanese food is one of a kind. You will never mistake it. Sushi, sashimi, unagi, and sake... we all know this.

It is not surprising then that they made the whole world eat with chopsticks instead of knives and forks.

A little glossary for a newbie:

Usually the Japanese serve their food with traditional rice wine - sake. It actually tastes more like vodka than wine. What is more - it is usually served hot.

They are also big fans of Indian homemade white cheese, called Panir. Every dish is traditionally accompanied by naan bread. Of course, rice is one of the basic products of Indian cuisine as well.

A little glossary for a newbie:

With a huge variety of dining: from the simple street food to gorgeous restaurant El Celler de Can Roca, which was ranked first in the The World's Best 50 Restaurants 2015, Spain has a lot to offer for a foodie traveler.

Remember: Very important phrase to know - "Dos сervezas por favor" which means "2 beers please"

We all know France for being a gourmet capital. Well, seems like it deserves this title. Croissant with a little cup of coffee in the morning - it's a must do in France.

All the food best-sellers come from here: baguettes, macaroni, praline, Madeleines, pain au chocolat, raisin brioche bread... The list is enormous. Onion cake and fish soup sound weird, but French know how to make it delicious as well.thai

A little glossary for a newbie:

Warm, sunny, blue sea and liters of tequila - this is the ideal picture of Mexico. Actually, this is not only positive, but also true and realistic. Add to this corn, beans, tomato and chilli peppers, and you would get the real taste of the country.

Switzerland is a country where 3 different cultures intersect: Italian, French and German. This is why it is sometimes hard to identify the characteristic of Swiss food. But apart from chocolate and cheese, they still have something to be proud of.

Apart from multicultural food from all over the world, you will find here some local specialities, such as kangaroo, possum, ostrich and crocodile meat.

A little glossary for a newbie:

Probably the best food destination to exist. Not because of strong American culinary traditions, but more because New York City gathers all of the cuisines mentioned before.
