Food, Glorious Food

As promised to Charlie, I am going to update blogs. It seems like a very large task though as I just went on the longest holiday of my life and I LOVED it. I have decided to start on the food, as it was perhaps my favorite part.

Disclaimer is that I did lose my camera in Rome. Hopefully someone found it and is somehow converted because of our pictures in front of the chapel in France. I had hope right up til the end that we may find it but I've given up now. I am really sad not to have the pictures but, lucky for me, I can steal pictures.

The glorious food really started in France. England has good chocolate, but not a whole lot else. Yorkshire pudding is quite delightful, but none was partaken of in London. Plus, I totally forgot to find a Ben's Cookies so I didn't get any of that goodness either.

French food was delicious! The first day we were there we found this place that had the most delicious crepes I have ever eaten in my life coated with Nutella. Watching him make them made them even more delicious.

After obtaining our Nutella crepes, we went and ate them by the riverside where Gene Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant have been. Sigh.

No joke at all, we honestly lived off of baguettes and nutella for the majority of our meals. It never got old though, mmmm, baguettes. Not to mention they are super cheap! Nutella really has to be the best invention ever, it makes everything taste better. Baguettes and nutella is basically heaven.

We did eat out one night which was lovely. A little café that played "It's Raining Men" so we felt right at home. We had meat for the first time on our trip and authentic French onion soup, in France. I know.

Another delight in Paris was a little pastry shop by our hostel. They really had the best pastries I've ever had. We only discovered it our last day so I didn't get to partake as much as I would have liked but it was still glorious. They put chocolate on everything, chocolate on croissants is especially good.

Italian food was amazing. Every day we had gelato and spaghetti and pizza. Pizza is really thin there and one order is one pizza but oh so good. The gelato was exquisite, my favorites being mango, chocolate and caramel. I probably miss that the most about Italy.... there were so many gelato places too! We went to a different one every day. The best one was one in Venice that took us like an hour to find. The pasta was very good too. This is a picture of the first dinner we had (the place I lost my camera). Mmmmm.... pizza.

The best meal was the last one, it was the best spaghetti of my life. We also went to this amazing place in Venice that delicious. I don't know what I ate but John had lasagna.

To finish things off, I traveled on Swiss Air and they gave me free chocolate. Yay for Swiss chocolate!
