The European continent has an interesting history in every respect, even culinary. Most of the so-called Today's traditional European dishes are made with products that in the past "came" from America. We are talking about vegetables - potatoes, beans, tomatoes, zucchini, corn. Of the fruits these are avocado, guava, mango.

Many of the national dishes of different European countries use similar products, but still have nothing in common in taste. IN Austrian cuisine mainly meat is used - beef and chicken.

The traditional and well-known Austrian dish is Viennese schnitzel - a beef covered with egg, a slice of lemon and breadcrumbs. We can not miss Tafelspitz - a dish of beef, horseradish and spinach.

The interesting Armenian cuisine is famous for its traditional sourdough bread. It is defined as one of the most ancient cuisines not only in Europe but in the whole world. A national dish loved by Armenians is kutap - it is made with fish.

Seafood is also revered in Belgium - one of the most popular products there are mussels. They are prepared in a variety of ways, the most popular being mussels in beer sauce. In addition, the Belgians are proud of french fries - they consider them a discovery.

Fish delicacies are also typical for Poland, although in most of their recipes there is some confectionery spice. Traditional stewed carp, for example, are seasoned with cloves, raisins, honey biscuits, bay leaf, allspice, lemon and dark beer.

Another typical dish for Poles contains sauerkraut, several types of meat, mushrooms and smoked sausages. It's called Bigos.

The Georgian national dish consists of mutton, sometimes replaced with beef and many vegetables - tomatoes, eggplant, onions, parsley, basil, potatoes and garlic. It is prepared mainly in clay pots and is called Chanahi.

In Germany, they are also fans of meat and high-calorie main dishes. A favorite national dish in German families is aintopf - it contains meat, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. Let's not forget about the sausages, as a trademark of the Germans are their white sausages.

Romanian national cuisine impresses mostly with ciorba de burta, which is tripe soup, which is served with cream and garlic. In addition, we can not fail to mention the Romanian kebabs - michi with mustard. The most famous in the world and the greatest pride of the Romanians remains the mamaliga - it is boiled corn flour.

The Greeks do not like to eat heavy meat often. Their national traditional dishes are Dolmadakia - vine sarma with rice and meat or rice and vegetables, as well as Tiganita - fried vegetables. Cuckoos are also among the national Greek dishes. It is a skewer of lamb trifles, seasoned with oregano and lemon juice.

Mentioning skewers, we must also say something about Moldova. One of the national dishes is a skewer of chicken, bacon, bacon, onion, which immediately before baking is rolled in black pepper, paprika, mustard and bread crumbs.

And since we are talking about European national dishes, we cannot fail to mention the supremacy of our favorite French cuisine, which is truly loved all over the world. Declared one of the most delicious cuisines in the world, the French are most famous for their soups, cheeses and last but not least the Ratatouille specialty.

Many vegetables are added to it - eggplant, tomato, zucchini, carrot, garlic, onion, which are roasted. Another legacy that French cuisine will leave in the national European specialties is nougat ice cream. For it you need cream, eggs, green fig jam, caramelized sugar with walnuts.

Italy is famous for its pizzas and spaghetti, as well as various types of pasta, as well as the lasagna loved by all Italians. It mainly contains tomatoes, bacon, minced meat, mushrooms, spices, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, parmesan, and of course lasagna peels. What is specific about making it is the order of the dish.

Denmark - from Danish cuisine, what makes the strongest impression and we can call their national culinary pride are cakes with egg cream or butter with cinnamon and sugar.

The relatively unknown Portuguese cuisine, although borrowed from Spanish, is quite different from it. For the Portuguese, the dishes are not so heavy, and the most popular are the dishes that contain fish or some seafood delicacy.

And since we mentioned Spain, we must pay due attention to the cuisine of the Spaniards. Favorite national dish or rather national soup is Gazpacho - tomato soup, which must be served cold. And as a main dish we can distinguish Paella - it adds rice, vegetables, meat, seafood.

Serbian national dish is Pleskavica - it is minced meat carefully grilled. The most popular is the Leskovac burger, which is prepared on the Leskovac grill - a typical way of roasting minced meat dishes with a slight spicy taste.
