Then there are those places though where the food was memorable. Wiener Schnitzel in Austria (the size of the plate), Green Lipped Mussels in New Zealand, Lamb in London and Australia and New Zealand, Moussaka in Greece, Crepes filled with Nutella in Paris, Lion Fish tacos in Grand Cayman, Soft Pretzels in Bavaria, and any kind of fresh pasta in Italy.

One of the more unusual finds for fast food was Hungry Jack's. It looked like a Burger King, tasted like a Burger King, even the sign looked similar. Come to find out it is a "Burger King". They just can't use the same name because another restaurant in Adelaide has already trademarked the name Burger King.
KFC is big in Japan--especially at Christmas. Lines will form around the block to pick up their orders for Christmas dinner. And it's a lot more expensive than we are used to.
The best dessert experience we ever had happened in Adelaide, Australia. Pavlova is a favorite Australian dessert and I always thought that it was only made with meringue and fruit and topped with whipped cream. Not so. There are apparently countless ways to make it. On a visit to Australia we dropped in to surprise a pastor friend of ours and his church ladies were so excited to have someone visiting from the USA that they insisted we return that evening for a special event to taste pavlova. There must have been more than a dozen different versions of the dessert. Yup, we tried them all. Didn't want to disappoint any of those sweet church ladies.
