Eating Europe: Swiss Toblerone Chocolate

Eating Europe piece by piece.

Not today but did eat this rather large bar of Toblerone chocolate straight from Switzerland.

In all, you could definitely eat it one rib a time but nothing too special I should say.

This one is dark but I prefer white and yellow Toblerone.

However this bar of choc was not the largest piece of chocolate I ate, I had something much bigger once.

Eating Swiss in Moscow...

Partaking of the joys of Swiss cuisine... Swiss delicacies to be exact, premium cheeses and meats.

Sent some people over there to Zurich to fetch me some bits and tits, a little of this and a little of that.

Hand-made cheeses in assortment.

This is Belper Knolle itself!

Brie and some cheese with mold. Mold and mildew is our everything!

And some meats, including some nice ham, sausage, jamon and something called "flesh cheese".

Globus is the place to go to for delicacies while in Switzerland.

The cheeses.

The meats.

Canteen Lunch

Another post on the theme of Food.

A full three-course lunch which I enjoyed in a workers' canteen some time in December last year, I think it was December 10, 2014.

The canteen was a Soviet-style workers's canteen where you have a choice of several dishes for each course, where you eat with real forks and spoons out of proper plates and not just with your dirty fingers out of cardboard boxes as you do in certain other places. Also very moderately priced, too.

Not easy to find nowadays in Moscow... but lots of fast food places. This is what proper Russian cuisine looks like albeit at the entry level -- at a workers' canteen level.

A three course lunch (or dinner actually) -- broccoli salad, pea soup-puree and stuffed eggplant (aubergines?). 

Like I said I am using proper cutlery... not eating out of paper boxes for a change.

Pita Greek @ McDonald's

My restaurants.

Today in our restaurant (maybe it was yesterday... or even farther back than that) is this Pita Greek (Greek Pita?) sandwich taken from something that is known as McAvto here in Moscow, Russia.

Above photo borrowed from the Russian McDonald's site.

Below are my photos.

It says something like "snacks and refreshments" or literally "to snack and refresh (oneself)".

"Awaken your taste".

 

"Small pleasures" - they really look small.

Big Breakfast @ McDonald's

My restaurants: McDonald's Big Breakfast (with a double Egg McMuffin on the side) in a McDonald's place here in Moscow.

Here's what it looks like (real-life clickable pics).

As offered here in Moscow, Big Breakfast by McDonald's includes in a box: a pork patty, scrambled eggs, two halves of a grilled "English" muffin (I slap jam on it), a hash brown patty, some jam, salt and pepper pouches.

As (self-)served and eaten also includes a double Egg McMuffin (on the left), orange juice and a coffee latte.
