From restaurant to restaurant across Europe

I forgot to photograph the Spanish tapas we ate yesterday
Today we are in Hungary (culinarily at least) at the Gay Hussar restaurant (look it up!).
Mr L had marinated herring and I had the Hungarian starter. Mine contained a bit of everything - salami, smoked sausage, assorted pickled veg and various pates and the herring.

Our mains were goose and beans for Mr L and crispy roast duck for me. We both got red cabbage as a side order. I got potatoes with smoked sausage and apple sauce, too.

You're a beauty in all aspects.
But you know the way to my heart is via photos of food.
YOU BEAUTY!

Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you. And your post says how much you are enjoying it, even without saying how much you are enjoying it.
Love to you & Mr L, you deserve to enjoy it.

PS. Even with my small appetite these days, I bet I could polish off all the food photographed. It looks divine.

We both very much enjoyed the food. Astonishingly we found room for dessert. He had ice-cream and I had chestnut puree flavoured with dark rum and vanilla. And a glass of dessert wine each
Still feeling stuffed four hours later. Pic of dessert when I'm next in range of some free wifi

You and Mr L will have to have a long session of... uh, calisthenics, to burn that meal.

Showed your pics to Mum.
She was as impressed as I was.

Although seeing your selection of meats she did ask, "Did it come with any bread?"
That's the Irish in her. If it doesn't come with bread or potatoes (or a cup of tea at the end) it's sorely lacking.

How're we supposed to keep our belly fat without empty carbs? (raised in American Irish household)

Yesterday evening's dessert.
Chestnut puree and cream.
I'd eaten most of it by the time I remembered to photograph it!

And today at lunchtime we were in the USA. Here's a "proper hamburger" from a chain called Byron.
Yum!
This evening we went Italian with done friends. I forgot to photograph the food
Mr L and I shared a starter of bresaiola (? Sp.) air-dried beef with rocket and sun dried tomatoes and very fluffy mozzarella type cheese. Then I had whopping great prawns on a salad.
I can feel myself getting fatter by the day!

Limey, perhaps you could expand your services for the Russian rockers.
