Map of the National Dishes of European Countries
Here we have a Europe map with all the national dishes of the different countries listed. While lots of the dishes are endemic to certain countries. However this is not the whole story. Gastronomically speaking Europe would be better split up into food regions rather than countries. A good example would be the former Yugoslavia. It is now made up of many smaller countries like Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia and Kosovo. This region has many dishes that almost all these countries would consider their own. These foods would be Burek, Cevapi (Cevapcici) , pita, pljeskavica and a whole lot seafood dishes. We have attributed these dishes to the countries that seemed to be the most vocal about a dish being theirs. We may not have got this right every time but we have tried to be as accurate as possible.
Above we have a map of the Dishes of Europe and below we have listed them in a table with the country listed beside it. We recommend as a fun trip trying to eat each national dish in the native country. Although you might need a few trips 😉
