Travels Far Afield

When I go to different places I like to eat the local speciality (most of the time).

In France I have had snails and frogs' legs and I drank French wine.
In Spain I ate black paella and drank red wine. Tapas and cerveza at midnight.
In Portugal, lobster and red wine. Tomatoes.
Belgium, mussels in white wine and Stella.

Italy! Pasta, pizza, ice cream and beer (Italian lunch - one ice-cream, one beer.)
Germany, sausages, white wine, beer (not all together). Not keen on sauerkraut.
Norway, smoked fish, smoked cheese and, er, beer.
Austria, strudel, germ-knudel (not sure about spelling), beer (hey).
Switzerland, fondue.

America, steak and potatoes separately. Eggs sunny side up.
Scotland, haggis and chips with sal'n'sos (couldn't find a deepfried Mars bar). Iron Brew (and beer). Drambuie. Decided against a white wine spritzer.
Oz - the barby and the tinnies!
Uganda fried green bananas and stew. ("meat")

So, goulash, Czech beer, strudel - what's the national dish of Slovakia?

Moving on is exciting. New ways, new friends.
