So I have been thinking of something to write about, and I have come up with food. I meant to write this post while I was shopping in Stockholm, and now this is happening.
Food over here tends to be similar, lots of burgers, hotdogs, chicken burgers, and french fries (frites en francaise). The only exceptions are that the English and Swedes eat more fish, the Swedes favor the Korv (hotdogs), and french sandwhiches are basically a baguette (about 6" long roll), sliced open (not in half), with a slice of cheese in it. It's also about $4.70 USD for that luxury.
Here are various pictures in no real order.
Breakfast that I made in Stockholm after I discovered Pucko (chocolate milk).
LCD tags at the grocery store. They are everywhere here, kinda cool.
Crepe in Paris. This is basically a really thin pancake with some cheese and ham inside. it's not filling.
Cola that tries to convince us that it is the original taste of America. Or something.
This is what they called a sandwhich somewhere in Stockholm. It had tomato, pesto, cheese, uhhh....other vegetable-things, and a really long slice of bread.
The milk cartons in Sweden to me are just childish looking. I think the little bit under the "Lattanmjolk" is the fat content, wihch is also weird and terrifying, compared to US standards. People in stockholm drink a lot of milk (in small containers), and have a lot of granola cereal, mixed with yogurt, with some milk on the side. Just a weird meal, in my opinion. Milk in Paris is called UHT (Ultra-High-Temperature), which you don't have to refridgerate until you open it, and comes in creme, demi-creme, and something that I don't remember. Again, weird.

I absolutely love that hotdog buns scream 'Merica!
That Nesquik is everywhere here, I don't remember it in the US. People here either eat Special K or cereals with chocolate. Nothing inbetween. Kinda weird. The other cereal just had an amazing name.
Well that's all that I have time for now, I have to do some hw. I hope you enjoy food in europe more than I do. If there is anything that anybody wants to see, leave it in the comments.
