I’ll start a multi-part entry here on food in Europe. Let me state clearly up front hat I love it! It’s different, tasty, and hand crafted. You never go to a restraint in Europe and get your food within minutes. Everything is cooked to order and, generally speaking, wonderful.
Most of the people who have ever told me they don’t like Europe have done so because it’s different. DUH! Of course it’s different.
So I’ll talk about some of the food over here as I run into it, and, as often as not, try it. You guys know that I’m like Mikey, I eat anything J
First thing is wild game. Many European restaurants serve wild game on their menus. In Munich, I had Wildgoulasch, which is a spicy stew made from wild boar. Very, very good.
In Spain, I ordered a deer steak. This was not your normal Bambi on a spit. The deer is more like an Elk. I have this nice, very lean, very rare steak that was tender and wonderful!
Another dish I saw in Spain was roasted shoulder of kid. Now, I’ve seen some kids I’d love to roast for a while, but my guess is they’d still be tough and bitter. However, this is a baby goat, roasted and served up very nicely. I didn’t get it, as they had a clam dish that caught my eye, but I took a bite and it was delish!
