Food from Ireland, France, Italy and Germany!

The berry crepe was sweet and fruity, like a pancake but a lot thinner. We ate it as an afternoon snack. 

In Italy, the pistachio croissant was rich and gooey inside, and I was amazed at how much flavor could be fit inside one pastry!

In Ireland, the grapes were so crispy and squirted everywhere when you bit into them. I wasn't sure at first because I usually like red grapes instead of green. But these were incredible!

How is the food prepared?:

In Germany, the pretzel is baked until golden brown, then served warm, often with cheese. The kebab sandwich is made by roasting spiced meat for hours at a time, slicing it thin, and serving it in bread with vegetables.

In France, the pistachio pastry is made by baking layers of dough with nuts, which is what makes them so flaky. Brie cheese is made from cow’s milk and aged until creamy, and a crepe is a very thin pancake cooked on a hot pan and filled with fruit. Have any of you ever had a crepe?

In Italy, the pistachio croissant is made by folding butter into dough over and over, then filling it with pistachio cream.

And finally, in Ireland, the fruit is sold fresh at markets, picked from nearby farms, and eaten just as it is. 

Is this food connected to the local environment? How?:

Yes! The foods I tried are connected to the land in each place.
