@larptab@Tom_Rowsell From my experience, I had excellent Italian food with a Sicilian friend right in the middle of Prague, oddly enough.
The owner of the place was Italian and the cook Albanian!
So good that my Sicilian friend, who lives in Prague, made this restaurant his regular spot.
@Tom_Rowsell@PunishedEldric You can’t go wrong with Prague and Munich for pork knuckles.
But when i used to tour Central Europe on a sports bike, I would also stop in small villages tucked away in the Alps, where the food experience was out of this world.
@PunishedEldric@Tom_Rowsell I personally find a crispy pork knuckle with a local beer hard to beat. The Czechs know very well how to prepare it too.
As for French cuisine, chicken cooked in Vin Jaune with morel mushrooms, accompanied by a Burgundy red, is food for the gods.
@Tom_Rowsell Yes, populations from northeastern France (and even some groups west of Paris) can show substantial Germanic admixture.
I found many Swedish and German matches in my FTDNA Family Finder results.
@Tom_Rowsell@HooliganWyrd But the Celtic tribe that truly terrorised the Romans and sacked Rome were not Belgae, they were Celtic Gauls from northern Burgundy and the Paris region.
@Tom_Rowsell@Balder998@HooliganWyrd Not all Belgae had Germanic admixture, their ancient territory spanned as far as to near Paris and Normandy. So eastern Belgae had definitely a germanic component
