Being a Canadian myself, I hate to admit it, but Tim Horton’s is my emergency coffee chain. Their Iced Cappuccino Supreme are the best! Love their hazelnut flavour! BTW, thanks for the round-up.

Food has got to be one of the greatest pleasures of travelling! One of my top dishes this summer was waffles with Belgian chocolate, freshly whipped cream and banana bought from a road side stand in Brussels. Worth going back to Bruges for that alone!
Sounds delish! – Caitlin.
Travel & food go hand in hand. Thanks for sharing some great dishes on the rocks all over world!!
Gelatos are my favorite and love to indulge myself into a big tub of gelato in summers.
Nice blog!
I feel the need to share some food stories I had whilst travelling through Germany. When asked if I wanted Hopfenbuhmentea for breakfast, I assumed it was a local breakfast hot drink. I was presented with a pitcher of strong beer at 8:30 in the morning! Needless to say the rest of the morning was a bit of a blur.
