Modern Vespa

well i find this topic to be amusing.

i will however, not post any more comments concerning british cuisine.

i would like to mention though, if ever i have to cross the atlantic on a ship...my choice would be either the royal navy, or the us navy. no other. this means, i will probably never ever cross the atlantic on a ship.

fish and chips...not cuisine in my opinion. i love a good hamburger, just i would not seek one outside the usa.

dutch cuisine just sucks. no further comment. all of europe agree to this.

a tourist, who does go to discreet places in big cities, to go where locals go to eat, should really not offer any opinion at all..these folks just do not know the lay of the land.

boiled potatoes in germany, in a restaurant or local place is almost unknown nowdays. very rare..

obviously, these members are reporting the cuisine of rather family owned, small hotels. boiled potatoes, in a restaurant....at best on a friday with fish.

cdwise, just a note now. please excuse my postings that may have taken your topic of course.

gal, i envy you for opportunity. take to the road, enjoy, and please report to us with at least a ton of pics.

Sorry for perpetuating the thread hijack, but yes, this.... Many years ago, before dad passed away he and mom took a several week trip to Europe, mom's biggest most 'blanket' description of the trip, "they ate and drank their way across the Content".

We are making the most of retiring and making up for all the traveling I couldn't do while the kids were little while we still can. I really do need to go through the pics of our previous trips and get at least some of them on my neglected blog.
