I find that in most of Europe, restaurants will offer a menu of the day where you can have a 3 course meal for 10 - 12 euros. It is usually pretty good. You sometimes have to take a chance on what you order if you can't speak the language and on the odd occasion I have ordered something I couldn't eat but if all else fails you could have a MacDonalds on the way home knowing at least you tried the local fare. Looking at where the locals eat is also a good tip. When I write destination guides I am not keen on compiling lists of where to eat. I think that just walking around you can suss this out for yourself. I agree that eating local food is part of the travel experience.

I, too, was fascinated by the various foods. Mmm... so good! I really think it is one of the major aspects of experience traveling. Your comments on the subject are spot-on. Just like the <a href="http://www.vagablogging.net/07-01/the-art-of-slowing-down-and-staying-awhile.html" rel="nofollow">The art of slowing down and staying awhile</a> post. A few days ago I took the plunge into the travel blogosphere, and since then have been finding many fascinating sites like this one. I think I'll be buying your book now.
