So, many of you are travelling all over the place for the concerts, maybe to some places for the first time. Sure, the concerts are uppermost in my your minds . . . but, what about the food!?
Anything new to you, that was good, that will add to the glorious memories of the concert?

Depends how that pint of guiness is put to use...
Is Guinness food?
Moses Lake, Washington was JackInTheBox (don’t tell). Miss them in Chicagoland and there’s nothing better for artery blockage than an Ultimate Cheeseburgers or two. And Breakfast Jacks and a j rule for hangovers!
Seattle = fresh seafood (salmon) and strong black coffee, duh
Florida = Cuban food; any pork dish, yucca, Cuban bread and coffee.
St. Louis/Kansas = BBQ and Steak.
Canada; no food required! Just beer, beer and more beer!!
Next week in Belgium it looks like (from reading posts here) I need to try french fry’s and mayonnaise, hope there’s ketchup close by just in case.
Holland; I’ll be feasting on hookers!! No, I did not just say that… or did I ? And I won’t be drinking coffee in coffee houses
Need advice on Denmark.

Belgium is chocolate and river eel.... but not at the same time :eek:
pierogi - some kind of big ravioli with cheese filling
barszcz (white ot red) - great great cream soup
bigos - sauerkraut with pieces of meat and sausage
golabki - cabbage leaves stuffed with minced meat and rice served with sour cream or tomato sauce
i really loved the food in poland, and it's really cheap eating outside
In Belgium: chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Beer (cherry flavored if it's hot, really refreshing), try whatever you can get your hands on, there's a lot to discover. And try the fries with different sauces, not only mayon. (I like americaine and samourai, but that's just me...).
Netherlands: Don't drink any beer if you tasted the belgian before. But eat fries again, they have a nice sauce, I think it's called "Joppie-Sauce" (don't know if the spelling is right). If you come to a supermarket, get some vla (some kind of pudding). And if you're into chocolate milk, some "Chocomel". Great stuff...

My new ambition in life is to combine a Pearl Jam show with a pre-show Sushi dinner.

Nuffingman, :eek: river eel :eek: ok, I’m game, is that anything like escargot? Love escargot in hot buttery garlic sauce! Chocolate, now you’re talkin’. I love chocolate especially after a coffee house visit
talkshowhost, ok, just rearranged my flights to stop in Belgium first and will load up on beer (cherry?) for my complete trip. Even my friends here who have Euro travel experience indicated Belgium + pints = eternal happiness, may never come home me thinks.

Chicago hot dogs
Deep dish pizza
Italian beef sandwich
No time to eat and to much jumping around Europe to get to the
next show
I had some good food in Italy, a pizza
But no, I didnt really spend much time or money to eat properly
Plus, Im always too nervous before shows like Wembley so I dont eat at all...
Cherry, yes. Apart from the obvious (Stella) the Belgians have abbey beers (more alcohol), my favourite is Leffe (which is a bigger one, maybe some belgian people can add something on that) and fruit-flavored beers like cherry or raspberry (even some citrus, but I haven't been brave enough for that). They're great and refreshing, but if you drink too much you get the headache of your life!!! Anyway, it's worth the risk, on every trip to Belgium I buy just three things: Comic book, chocolate and beer. And it's not that we don't have any good beers in germany, but Belgium and the Czech Republic is still a great beer adventure. :-))
Enjoy it!!

Fuji Mountain in Philly... Sushi and PJ mix VERY well
Poland- beer, these 'smiley' potato things, and something I can't possibly pronouce, with like 19 letters and 1 vowel, and still tried ordering anyway.
Paris detour- escargot, foie gras, pate, baguette, WINE.... I took a detour here with the mission to eat, drink, and see magnificent stuff. Mission accomplished.
London- not complete yet, but I've done sausage and mash, fish and chips, mixed grill, beer, cider, an English breakfast... Will need to try a lancashire hotpot, and a curry in brick lane. Either way, to say the obvious, this is a culinary shithole compared to Paris
Dusseldorf- Pork knuckle. My god that thing was huge. It was last night and I'm still bloody full. The beers make me really miss Munich- I came here expecting steins, and they only have half pints here. Tiny, tiny glasses.
An Italian beef sandwich consists of thin slices of beef served inside Italian bread or some other crusty bread (often soaked), which has been cut lengthwise and into individual portions. (The "Italian Bread" commonly used in Chicago is a white loaf with a high gluten content and little to no sourdough flavor, made to be reminiscent of what many think of as being Italian restaurant bread). Even though it is served on Italian bread sliced lengthwise, this is the only thing it has in common with submarine sandwiches. Italian beef is made using cuts of beef from the sirloin butt (Scala's) or the top/bottom round wet-roasted in broth with garlic, oregano and spices until medium rare or medium. The roast is then cooled, then sliced very thinly ("shaved") using a deli slicer, and then served dripping wet after a reintroduction to its reheated beef cooking broth, topped off with sauteed green bell peppers, or hot Chicago-style "giardiniera" peppers (mix of Serrano peppers, carrot, cauliflower, celery, olives, and oil/spices), or rarely marinara sauce by request; hence the need to use a chewy bread for this dish: a softer bread would disintegrate.
