The Food Journey - Part 2
What an exhausting week! I'll probably be out hiking when you read this...
Rich, thick mushroom, garlic, and cheese soup...
My most decadent meal! In Krakow, pierogies stuffed with mushroom and cabbage, deep fried, and served on a "platter" made of bread...
That same night, Ken from Melbourne feasted on a rich, succulent goulash served in a bowl carved out of bread, complete with a little bread lid.
In Central Europe, cabbage is an art form...
...an art form that I prefer without cheese...
In Tatranska Lomnica, Slovakia, we dined at an oompah-restaurant with some very loud musicians, including an accordeonist, as the meat slowly cooked on a spit in the room's center.

In Bratislava, a Central European dish with a Far Eastern name: Long Life Noodles. It was a goulash containing tasty strips of pork and beef, served over snow-white pasta.
While I ate my noodles, my fellow travellers ate lighter fare, here's Joe's deluxe hot chocolate with whipped cream.
Strange meat at the butcher shops in Budapest's giant covered market. More about that tomorrow and Monday.
Iconic paprikash peppers.
Chicken feet! Reminds me of my summer in Israel when I was 9, and they were still living in the 1940s.. (though it was in fact 1969, in the sunshine)
Budapest café near the castle grounds, on a rainy afternoon we warmed up with coffee and cake. That's Joe from Vancouver.
The windowcase full of cakes and pastries at that very same Budapest café.
