Vereniki

A pasta dough stuffed with various fillings, similar to ravioli.  My favorite vereniki is stuffed with potatoes (Crazy, I know! Pasta stuffed with potatoes, but it's delicious!).  And for a sweet variety, vereniki stuffed with cherries served with a sweet sour cream sauce. Yum!

Salad Olivye (Potato Salad)

This is my go to potato salad.  Packed full of all kinds of veggie goodness!

Borsch

Some might be turned off by the beets or the color of this soup, but let me tell you.  There are lots of other flavors going on in there.  It is delicious with that dollop of sour cream!

I've made salad olivye and borsch a few times, but I've never taken photos.  In my google search I came across Natasha's Kitchen.  I fell in love with her blog and she graciously allowed me to use her photos.  Check out some of her Russian/Ukrainian dishes as well as much more!

Czech Republic

Czcch Goulash with bread dumplings

A bit different from the Hungarian goulash, but still so very tasty!  And a fun touch to be served from a pot like the one above.

Trdelnik

My favorite street snack!  A pastry cooked over an open flame on a round pin called a trdlo and once finished, rolled in cinnamon and sugar and sometimes almonds.

Spain

You learned from last weeks post how much I love churros!  I also have to add to the list.....

Paella

I fell in love with paella while in Spain.  So much so I knew I needed to learn how to make it!  I blogged about it here.

Austria

Nürnberger Sausages

Now, before anyone tells me "wrong country" I do realize the Nürnberger is from Nürnberg, Germany.   I have never been a big sausage fan.  They've always smelled good to me, but I never found one I liked until I discovered the Nürnberger rostbratwurst.  These little gems are sold all over the place and it was while living in Austria that I fell in love with them, therefore, I am sticking them under Austria.  I am so glad there is a store close by here in England that sells these!

Good ole Austrian market fare, homemade chips and pumpkin spread.

You don't find much pumpkin that is sweetened in Austria.  It's savory in the way of spreads and soups.  And the homemade chips (or crisps) are amazing!  Fresh and crunchy!

England
Cream Tea (scone, clotted cream, jam & tea) and Afternoon Tea are my favorite favourite meal in England!

Sandwiches, scones and dessert!  Yes, please!

I love having local foods whenever traveling.  Especially of the sweet variety!  And there is nothing like having churros in Spain!

There are two chocolateria's in Madrid that stand out as the oldest and best.  Valor, a chocolateria starting in 1881 and San Gines is the oldest churreria, established in 1894.  If you find yourself in Madrid, you'll have to give one or both a try!

We asked around as to which one was the best and were encouraged to try Valor.  We should have tried out San Gines too, but we didn't live in the city and ran out of time before moving.  Just means we have to go back to give it a proper and thorough test!







You don't have to go too far to try churros though.  Street festivals and touristy areas in Spain always seem to have some close by.



In many different varieties too!



My favorite is actually with cinnamon and sugar, but when in Spain....



Have you had churros or been to a chocolateria in Spain?  I highly recommend it if you haven't!

Speaking of food.......next week is our travel theme and we'll be talking about, you guessed it, food!!!  What's been the food(s) that have stuck out to you the most in your travels?  It could be your best, your worst, your strangest, favorite restaurant or all of the above.  So get your travel foodie posts ready!

Each week we're featuring a post from the previous week's link up.  I tell you, it is so hard featuring only one!!  I love looking through all of your travel posts!
This week I'm featuring Amy from Creatrice Mondial and her post on the 6 Best Mediterranean views.  I've seen parts of both Greece and Italy, but oh, these views!!  My favorite is Cinque Terre, Italy.  Take me there, stat!

Madrid on Dwellable

Each day of the week leading up to a school parade, was a theme, similar to Spirit Week in the US. You can read about it here.

Have you observed Carnival in Spain or somewhere else around the world?
