If you go to Britain, bring your own food.

Britain has some seriously great food - I don’t know if you’re just memeing but their Indian food is probably the best in the world and traditional fare like pies, sausages, cheeses and fried fish are all delicious.

If you’re vegan you are going to have an unpleasant time, though.

Depends where you go, the vegetarian and vegan scene in Brighton is pretty damn impressive.

The best vegan recipes are indian. You can certainly eat well as a vegetarian in London, but most places will have an indian restaurant with a few veggie choices.

Veggie is a lot easier than vegan. Ghee is used a lot in Indian cooking.

I have a friend who went to London and just ate at Whole Foods all the time. So, vegans can survive.

Nah. Went over to Liverpool and London, there’s good food. Just avoid low-end british cuisine, high end is fine, but expensive. Lebanese places in particular seemed to be all-around great, with good prices, tasty food, and friendly people.

There was a post earlier today complaining about questions that aren’t open-ended, and therefore don’t adhere to the community rules. So here we are with a question with many possible answers (which makes it properly open-ended).

Reading the title, I would presume OP wants someone from one of those over 40 nations in Europe to say where tourists should avoid at all costs.

Depends. Are you white? Would you be recognizable as a “foreigner”? In the latter case avoid all of Germanys provinces, especially in the former East. Do not travel alone and be wary of the cops. They are usually the same groups as the local Neonazis.

I’m white af, but, as an American, I didn’t get treated as rudely anywhere else in Germany than Berlin. Still had a great time overall in the city, but, not really in a rush to go back.

My friend and I were standing at a bar mulling over the menu, just kind of murming to one another over what drinks we wanted while we were waiting for the bartender to finish up with his other customers. It wasn’t busy, but he was attending to other people. When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile. He didn’t say a single word to us, just took the menus from in front of us and put them on the back shelf, and then turned away.

So we left. Our money clearly wasn’t good enough there, and we spent it in another bar across the alleyway instead.

Do you mean “provinces” as in federal states or as in hillbilly regions?

Disagree. Central Paris is something special. Like any European capital there’s tons of stuff to see and do.

It falls off off a cliff once you’ve done the centre though.

París was ok when I went, but I do really remember there being loads of dogshit everywhere.

Yeah. Paris is a nice city, but it is still a city. I feel like people who judge Paris harshly don’t like any major urban area.

I just went on a trip to France last month and while I wouldn’t say Paris was the highlight, the Louvre and Musée D’Orsay were unforgettable experiences. The Versailles gardens were pretty great too but that’s not really in Paris I don’t think.
