Comments on: 058 – Eating well in Europe http://indietravelpodcast.com/travel/058-eating-well-in-europe/ Sweet travel advice for independent travellers Thu, 24 May 2012 09:12:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Erin http://indietravelpodcast.com/travel/058-eating-well-in-europe/#comment-2093 Erin Fri, 23 May 2008 18:03:15 +0000 http://www.indietravelpodcast.com/?p=109#comment-2093 When I was younger and traveled with my family, we always had "euro picnics" for lunch. There were 4 kids and two adults, so my parents were smart about not eating out too much on our trips to Ireland, Germany, and other places in Europe. We'd get a loaf or two of tasty bread, good meat, cheese, and spreads, and whatever fruit, salad, or local treats tempted us. Now I've introduced my husband to the concept, and these unplanned picnics are perfect for when we travel anywhere. Also, the Prix Fix concept is great for eating out while traveling. Finding a menu with various options is a great way to taste local food without breaking the bank. In Paris a few months ago we had a huge, fantastic dinner, and it was about $50 american dollars per person. These types of set menus are a great way to eat well.

It's used a lot in music and fashion: an "indie label", for example, is one which is not owned by a large conglomeration like Virgin Music. We use indie as a play on our musical choices and our commitment to staying lo-key, no crap and completely independent. “Indie” is for independent.

We're hoping to spend some more time in Asia in the next 12 months. If we can't get there, it'll be in the next few years. It'd be awesome to come around for some good Malaysian food! I've had a bit in Auckland, NZ but I haven't seen a lot in European cities (where we're travelling now). I hope you're getting some votes for Malaysia on the poll this month :P Hey Arah,
