- Good advice, to a certain extent. After all, street food is still a pretty
- limited menu - try to get a decent meal in a restaurant, or even in a
- student mensa at least once a day. Fresh fruits, cheeses, and sausages,
- purchased at street markets are usually a good deal, and one of the most
- interesting things to try are the local sausages and cheeses (and beers).
-
- In particular countries, there are certain possibilities:
-
- - In England, try the pub food, especially for lunch.
- - In Germany, the Nordsee fish restaurants have very good, reasonably priced
- carryout fish sandwiches. Bakeries often have pastries and sandwiches filled
- with cheese, ham, sausages, etc.

- Bleah. When Europeans I know make fun of American eating habits, my response
- always includes Nutella. Chocolate spread on bread?! For breakfast?!
