The best thing to eat in every EU country

[chimney cake]Shutterstock Traveling through Europe is likely to be at the top of anyone's bucket list — in fact, people probably even have a whole _other_ bucket list for it. But forget the sites for a moment and think of the food, which is as varied as the many different countries themselves. Whether you're high up in the Alps or down by the sparkling Mediterranean seas, here's the one thing you should eat in every EU country.

Instead, try the hearty Carbonnades Flamandes, a meaty stew similar to France's Beef Bourguignon, but in which the wine is replaced with beer — another thing Belgium is famous for. BULGARIA: BANITSA Kang-min Liu / Flickr Bulgarian cuisine is an eclectic mix of Russian, Italian, Greek and Middle Eastern dishes. The one thing you should try, however, is a banitsa, an egg and cheese mix wrapped in filo pastry, which has many variations, both sweet and savory. For New Year's Eve, charms are hidden in it.
