As we persist under leaden skies in northern Europe this summer, I'm acutely aware that the last Pyrenean glaciers are almost gone and I wonder if the ski resorts where so (partly) learned to ski still exist.

Our #FamilyStaycation project of eating our way through Europe is bringing back memories but also prompting some good discussions.

Would love to know your favourite dish from your home country in Europe (or anywhere else, why not?)
What would you serve to someone who has never been to your country before? Bonus points if it's #vegetarianCooking and/or has a good story attached!
