BEER EVERYWHERE AND EVERY WURST IMAGINABLE.
Heaven.

Also saurkraut is good stuff man.

I dont do McDonnalds, i never see the point of going to a foreign country and eating whats available at home.
Chuck down some of the local grub, if its gross eat it anyway. At the very least you get a decent story out of it.

Which sounds better?
My cousin went on holiday and immediately chased down a store that imports food and survived on iron brew and scotch pies...
Or me that chowed down on unpronouncable dubious "delicacies" of questionable origin and more often than not wound up with a plate full of raw squirming things whilst the locals kept stating "ees aquirrrrred taste."
Not sure what animal meat comes from that winds up green, but damn it tasted good.
Wound up in some out of the way "resteraunt" in Saskatchewan, i use the term Resteraunt loosely, from what i could fathom you went in, threw down ten bux and sat round this big fire pit with hanging animals and sausages whilst some sweaty kuy basted everything and kept shoveling hickory chips into the pit.
They provided you with a steak knife thing and you just hacked away as much as you wanted.
The locals loved the "burnt ends" big slabs of brisket hung up and the corners went all charred black, tasted like nothing ive ever had since.
My cousin just sat moping around because hes a fussy eater, guy never knew the awesomeness he missed right there.
So yeah try EVERYTHING you can get your hands on, some will be disgusting but that just makes the good stuff taste even better.

Sausage is more often than not hoofs, arseholes, lips and testicles ground up with a handful of herbs to mellow the harsh, then rammed into an edible condom, whats not to love?

You only live once, why wind up on your death bead with man i wish i tried.
Besides failure of a spectacular fashion is more often than not better and mediocre success
