This poor blogger got himself in a German McDonald where ”German” Big Macs were served with beer. For an American, this probably seems a bit gross, no wonder he labels this initial culture shock as his worst European food experience.Well, if the sugar-obsessed Americans don’t mind slurping one biggie sodapop after another, then why should beer-craving Germans serve this “liquid bread” –as called by the Czechs–strictly at the pubs.

I’ve been to McDonald only twice in Prague and don’t think that beer is served there. If so, it is quite a tragedy for a country with the highest beer assumption in the world.

After the culture shock at this German McDonald, this blogger discovers another side of German cuisine, in mom-and-pop food stands and small restaurants, those without English menus and prepare food exactly how it should be for the locals. It’s same in the Czech Republic. I tend to avoid tourist-oriented, fancy restaurants which charges twice or three times as much for the same dishes found at local restaurants.

I highly recommend those that have the opportunity to travel through Europe to take a day trip through the countryside of any country and experience the food of the locals. For the best experience, spice up on your foreign language skills. Most importantly, bring an empty stomach and you are guaranteed to leave satisfied.

I haven’t got the opportunity to visit villages in the Czech Republic, but I recently traveled to traditional Czech villages in Romania and had a stomachful of cheap and delicious meals made from homemade and homegrown products. I will write more about this trip in future post.
