Do you love to travel but also to try new food and drinks? If that's the case and if you have some other friends who also love doing that, then you definitely need to check the msnbc.com article below and see how you can easily find a perfect trip in Europe for you:

Eating and drinking in Europe is sightseeing for your taste buds. Every country has local specialties that are good, memorable, or both. Here are many of the fun experiences that stick in my mind after 30 years of travel. Seek out any of these on your next trip.
In the Netherlands, try a rijsttafel ("rice table"), the ultimate Indonesian meal, with as many as 36 delightfully exotic courses, all eaten with rice. One meal is plenty for two, so order carefully. An even more memorable experience you owe your tongue in Holland? Slurping down raw herring at an outdoor herring stand.
Belly up to the bar in a neighborhood pub in Edinburgh, Scotland and drink not beer, but whisky. Ask a local what he likes best and why — you'll find that whisky is as refined as wine — and suddenly you feel like an expert taster. One of my favorite spots in Edinburgh is Leslie's Pub, with its huge whisky selection listed on a six-page menu.
Nobody does chocolate like the Belgians. There's something elegant about dropping in on the most expensive chocolate-maker in town — there's one in every Belgian burg. Find a place that's family-run, where locals buy their chocolate fresh, and people expect the shop to close on hot days because quality chocolate can't survive the heat. In Brussels, try Galler, just off the city's Grand Place; in Bruges I like Dumon, near Market Square.Germany's Wurst is the best anywhere, and Kraut is not as "sauer" as the stuff you hate at home. Only a tourist puts the sausage in a bun like a hot dog. Munch alternately between the meat and the bread ("that's why you have two hands"), and you'll look like a local. Generally, the darker the weenie, the spicier it is.
