Over the past five months we have taken you along on the fantastic European chapter of our Radventure which has included an incredible smorgasbord of deliciousness. Below are the highlights...
The Top Five:
1 - Spaghetti allo Scoglio at Il Carrettiere (Como, Italy)
2 - Bistecca alla Fiorentina at Osteria Perbacco (Siena, Italy)
3 - Weiner Schnitzel at Cafe Anzergruber (Vienna, Austria)
4 - Pasteis de Nata at Pasteis de Belem (Belem, Lisbon, Portugal)
5 - Froi Gras and Black Truffle Miso Soup at Con Gracia (Barcelona, Spain)
Of course there is quite specific criteria to make the list, namely it has to be a single plate, and really some meals are just hard to spilt into parts so here are some very honorable mentions in no particular order:
- Every morsel of Zia Memma's cooking from her delicious pasta sauces to the soft pillows of gnocchi. Yum!
- Mrs Geisseler (Olivia's Mum) simply scrumptious Swiss home meals. Some of our favorites include raspberry pavlova, roast lamb and rustic salads. So good!
- A very British Sunday Lunch at The Old Stag in North Wales
- The "Brat" from Vorderer Sternen Grill in Zurich - it doesn't get much better when you've got a hot crusty bread roll and hot mustard!
- Sweet and sticky Turkish Pistachio Baklava at Karaköy Güllüoglu in Istanbul
- Our fine dining experience at Ledbury in London. We couldn't fault the entire lunch and worth every single penny, of which there were a lot!
With European food having almost daily parties in our mouths here are some more tantalizing moments:
- Lamb Tagine with Prunes (Marrakech, Morocco)
- Paella (Madrid, Spain)
- Stone cooked steak at Cabacas (Lisbon, Portugal)
- Grilled Seafood Platter at La Ramblas Market (Barcelona, Spain)
- Chocolate Croissant at Au Ble d’Azur (Nice, France)
- Nutella Ice Cream at Cioccolat Italiani (Milan, Italy)
- Prawn and Black Truffle Risotto at Carpaccio (Venice, Italy)
- Ham & Cheese Baguette in Montmarte (Paris, France)
- Chocolate Fondant (Paris, France)
- Blue Cheese from Barthelemy (Paris, France)
- Pizza Taglio from the shop near Zia Memma's (Carpineto, Rome, Italy)
- Spaghetti Carbonara from Romana's (Rome, Italy)
- Water from the fountain at the Spanish Steps (Rome, Italy)
- Gelato from Giotti (Rome, Italy)
- Panino from a random deli, a crunchy bread roll, fresh ham and delicious white anchovies (Amalfi, Italy)
- Grilled Swordfish & Stuffed Tomatoes at Zia Angela's (Messina, Italy)
- Aranchini (Messina, Italy)
- Pesto (made by Nicola's mum) Gnocchi (Messina, Italy)
- Greek Salads (everywhere in Greece)
- Grilled Lamb Chops at Romilos (Rhodes, Greece)
- Kofte 5 Herb and Spice (cumin, chilli, garlic, oregano and sumac) Kebab (Fethiye, Turkey)
- Chicken Indian/Turkish Curry cooked by Captain Ahmet (Before Lunch, somewhere on the mediterranean sea, Turkey)
- Scone with jam (Isle of Skye, Scotland)
- Haggis Fritters at MacDonald Pub (Loch Leven, Scotland)
- Fresh Strawberries from a farm (Cheddar, England)
- Rick Stein's Fish & Chups (Padstow, England)
