You travel the world, you see places, you meet people, you take pictures, you take it all in and try to understand the different cultures, some of which might even shock you, you eat their food, and you upload it all on social media. That’s present day travelling in a broad sense for you.
Take the above and remove the sight-seeing, meeting people, discovering cultures aspect and basically remove everything and just leave the part about eating their food and uploading it on social media on there and what you get is a conventional rushed week-long business trip where country hoping is like changing plates at a restaurant.
So, when I recently went on a 10 day whirlwind business trip to Europe all that I managed to “click” was city life on the go, tulips at Kuekenhof in Netherlands (a rare day off), and lots and lots of food and drink pictures. Looking back, these food pictures show the diversity and the variety of options available in Europe and also one of the reasons why I love travelling there. Here’s a selection of a few foodie favourites from the trip;
Although Fries could be a bit messy, but they, along with Croissants, make for excellent quick travel food for those long train journeys between countries.
The most important meal of the day, breakfast also happens to be my favorite.
A nice chilled beer after a long day can be very soothing. Featured here are two of my favourites; Desperados and an Amstel RadlerPart of the fun while traveling is enjoying the local specialties, and beer happens to be something that many European countries take pride in. Obviously fries add that much needed saltiness and also helps soak in some of that alcohol.A juicy bacon burger from the Flame restaurant in AmsterdamIt’s no surprise that beer goes rather well with Indian food.Snippets from the Mayur Vegetarian Sampler in AmsterdamA “thali” works really well when you want to just have a little bit of everything. Add to that a lovely hot lentil soup and some pakodas and that’s enough to make you forget where in the world you are.Quick bites that help you catch the next train. The AA Drink is something I have been having for more than a decade now whenever i’m in Holland. The Green Coke was something new. The 3 Dutch Farmers Crisps have a very earthy taste to them and the Hummus and Peppadew sandwich was a nice little tummy filler.Comfort food when traveling has to be PIZZA!Desserts are a must to end any meal and also this blogpost.
Hopefully you’re a little hungry by now, so GO! and have something already.
One of the best ways to savour a place is it’s food. Those were yum suggestions!
