The Best Things I Ate This Month: Part 2

     As you are probably well aware, one of my favorite things about living in Europe is eating in Europe. Since my last "Best of" food post was so much fun to write (and research) I have, in fact, decided to make it a series. For each of the four months of my travels, I will post the very best things I ate. While the first post was dedicated to German favorites, this one also includes culinary pleasures from Austria and Paris. Since I only spend 36 hours in Paris, there's no way I could possibly do its incredible cuisine justice, but rest assured, I'm going back for more on Thursday. I have many, many things to share this month, so this is going to be mostly pictures (in chronological order) with short commentary.

First, the Thüringer Wurst, my first experience with street food. Surprisingly good for just 1 euro!

Next, there's Spaghetti-Eis. It looks like spaghetti, but it's ice cream. And it's terrific!

I had this meal in a very old Austrian restaurant in Salzburg. It's pork roast with the best gravy and a giant Knödel. That's a dumpling, but I just like the word Knödel.

This was my meal at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich. This establishment isn't exactly known for the food, so the schnitzel cordon bleu was just okay. 

The apple strudel, however, was perfect. Fresh and not too sweet.

On a day trip to Ulm, we stopped at a little café for cake and coffee. This is a slice of blueberry goodness.

And now, on to Paris! The first thing I ate there (besides the free breakfast at the hostel) was a Nutella crêpe. They don't skimp on the Nutella!

While in Paris, we decided to have one splurge dinner at a real brasserie. The steak-frites was great!

And the crème brûlée was even better! That crunch of the sugar on top is the sound of perfection!

     So those were the highlights. Over the next month, I'll continue to be that tourist, taking pictures of all my food, living that food blogger thug life, so I can share it all with you!
