In any authentic Polish restaurant you will see dishes like goulash, pierogis, and kielbasa. Luckily for me, I will eat almost anything that contains meat and potatoes. You will also find dishes made of duck, lamb, and veal. The portions are usually quite big but a good meal usually won’t cost more than 20 USD. This is nice considering we eat out almost everyday for lunch and dinner.

Our breakfasts at the hotels are covered by the program so every morning we go to the restaurant and eat at the buffet. Most of the items are common to US breakfasts, like eggs, fruits, cereal, bacon, bread, and pastries, and the sausages are the only thing that would taste slightly different.

My classmates and I could’t help but notice all of the American chain restaurants around. In every city we’ve been to we have seen McDonald’s, Hard Rock Cafes, and, most surprisingly, a lot of KFCs. Thankfully, none of us have needed to venture into any of these considering that meals here are delicious and on the cheaper side.

My favorite thing that I have eaten so far is Trdelník in Prague. Also called “chimney cakes”, they are a type of dough that is wrapped around a stick and then grilled. They are most often covered in sugar and some type of nut and then you can choose a filling. I had one that was coated on the inside with chocolate and then filled with vanilla ice cream. The only problem was that once the ice cream melted it fell right through the bottom and dripped all over my hand. Definitely worth it though!
