Past eats- Study Abroad 2008

Okay. After looking through some of my pictures, I realized I really like to take pictures of my food. I am not sure if it is normal. Here are some pictures of the best food I ate while studying abroad in Spring 2008. And when I said I like to eat healthy foods, this didn't really apply as much when I was in Europe. "When in Rome..."


Appetizers at an amazing trattoria in Rome. Left: Grilled veggies served cold in the best oily sauce I've ever tasted; Center: amazing, freshly baked bread; Right: a wedge of the best cheese I've ever tasted to be dipped in honey. It was an amazing meal, and this was just the first course.


Pizza with broccoli in Venice. I love broccoli on my pizza!


The most delicious strawberries. Purchased from a cart at a street fair in Milan. Consumed while taking in the Italian countryside while on a train from Milan to Florence.


THE BEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER EATEN. Bought from an Italian man at a meat counter at an open-air market in Florence. It came wrapped in thick paper, making it easy to eat on the go. Focaccia bread with fresh pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. Simple yet so flavorful. And if I remember correctly, it was only 3 €.


French toast with jam in Amsterdam.


Filet mignon with mashed potatoes. Main course on a dinner boat cruise on the Seine River in Paris, France.


And finally, a shout out to some comida de Espanol. I was not a huge fan of Spanish food, but considering I lived in Madrid, I felt I had to include a picture of some tapas. Homemade chips, fried zucchini and olives.
