Foods I Have Encountered Across the Globe

Okay. Full disclosure...I have only been to a few countries, but still. They are located in the Globe and that's good enough for me. Let it be good enough for you. Also: try not to salivate.

Best ever eclairs from the Mariposa Market, Orillia, Ontario.


The most unique and delicious breakfast in Leslieville Village, Toronto.


Complimentary breakfast for two at a swell hotel in Kosice.


Braised beef with red wine poutine, New York Fries, Toronto.



Chicken schnitzel in Mariazell.


Potato salad in Mariazell.


Sauerkraut soup with Chabai sausage, smoked ham and sour cream in the old city of Bratislava.



Pork chops in a village in Slovakia.



Spinach and cheese Phylo dish that melted in my mouth in Vienna.



Chocolate mousse with cream and raspberry sauce in Vienna.


Apple strudel type dessert in the shape of a rose in Grinzing, Austria.

Fresh baklava in Istanbul.


The fish is so good. Nothing at all like the neon green fish in our polluted lakes.



Wraps from The Meat House Restaurant in Istanbul



Traditional breakfast in Goreme, Turkey.
Don't let the fact that it's healthy put you off.


Chicken and vegetable pottery casserole in villages across Cappadochia, Turkey.
Before they break the ceramic pot in half...



And after...



Turkey (the country, not the meat) continued...beef casserole.




My aunt's open faced sandwiches in Petrzalka, Slovakia.
When my aunt invites you over for "just a coffee", be prepared to strap a feedbag on and consume a platter of these sandwiches. It is considered rude to eat only three, so you better be hungry. Do not do something stupid like eat before you go over. Just saying.


Aerial view of  pork loin wrapped in (you guessed it) more pork.
Made by my cousin in the Czech Republic.



She stuffed the inside with veggies and ham.
In the event that you were reading this with your eyes closed, the Czechs eat a lot of pork.



My cousin's homemade Moravian pastries.


Pork Leg in the Prater (Austria).



Beef and Potato in Vienna.



Gulas and dumplings in Prague.
I make a mean Gulas and will share the recipe with you someday.



Pizza and salad in Burano.



Marzipan in Venice.
