After arriving in Europe, the snack foods and drinks that are not native to your home country will most definitely catch your eye! Here are some of the ones that I have tried and enjoyed so far:
Lion Bar
The Lion Bar originated in England and wafer, caramel, and crisp cereal covered in milk chocolate.
Fanta Orange
So in America, I don’t drink soft drinks, and I especially don’t like Fanta. I happened to try an orange Fanta in Paris and it was immensely different! It almost tasted like carbonated orange juice. I highly recommend it.
Stroopwafel
The first time I had a stroopwafel, I was instantly hooked! These two thin waffles with a caramel like filling are amazing.
Macarons
These light and tasty cookies come in a variety of flavors and are a must have when visiting Paris.
Pain au Chocolat
This is a flaky pastry filled with a couple of pieces of chocolate wasn’t too sweet, and made for a very nice snack!
Balisto
A biscuit with cream, honey and almonds covered in a milk chocolate coating.
Crepes
My biggest regret when visiting Paris is that I only had one crepe. It was absolutely delicious! I got mine filled with Nutella.
Belgian Waffle
Nothing compares to an actual Belgian waffle. If you are ever in Belgium please do yourself a favor and have one!
I’m sure I am missing a lot of awesome European snacks and/or drinks, but these are the few that I’ve had the opportunity to try!
What should I try the next time I’m in Europe?
