Do you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast? It seems like savory breakfast people have more options, but perhaps you just need some new ideas. Sweet breakfast options can be found in every corner of the world and there’s nothing wrong with wanting some more sweetness in your life. Here are three amazing sweet breakfasts from around the world.

Bostock, France

You’ve heard about the French toast (French don’t call it that, by the way), but have you heard about an even better sweet bread breakfast from France? Bostock is a cake-type pastry that comes from Normandy and consists of brioche bread sweetened with syrup and topped with frangipane (almond sweet cream) and some sliced almonds. It’s impossible not to love it!

Pączki, Poland

Pączki are traditional jelly-filled doughnuts that are flattened but still fluffy. The top is covered with a glaze or just simple sugar, and the inside can be filled with jelly, but also with cream and fruit.

Cornetto, Italy

The Italians typically eat a light breakfast. You’ll often see people grabbing a cornetto with some coffee on their way to work. Cornetto is similar to a croissant but it’s filled with chocolate spread or fruit jam. It goes great with a cup of cappuccino or espresso.

Korean cuisine is one of the healthiest in the world, but the same can’t be said for their desserts. They’re still incredibly delicious and worth breaking the diet. Here are some of our favorites among Korean desserts.

Songpyeon

With a shape similar to dumplings, these small cakes come in different colors and are traditionally served during chuseok, a fall harvest festival. To make them, they use rice flour dough and fill it with toppings like red bean paste, honey, sesame, and chestnut. The signature pine tree note comes from steaming the rice cakes in fresh pine needles.

Hodo-gwaja

Not only they are made of walnuts, hodo-gwaja are also made to look like walnuts. Their outside consists of crushed walnuts and wheat flour, and inside you’ll find some more walnuts combined with red bean paste. Hodo-gwaja are typically eaten hot, along with a warm drink. They’ve been around since the 1930s and over time have become a nation’s favorite.

Bungeoppang

Bungeoppang (carp bread) are fish-shaped cakes that are similar to waffles and pancakes. The most popular filling is red bean paste, and other filling options include custard, sweet potato, and even cheese. This is a popular winter street food that will never disappoint you.

You don’t have to be a certified foodie to realize that food and travel go hand in hand. Enjoying a local dish is almost always the best way to experience a different culture and understanding better its history and tradition. Alexandria Drzazgowski understands this intuitively. The founder and recipe developer behind travel and food blog The Foreign Fork, she offers her audience a taste of the world through the kitchen.

The idea is simple: cooking one meal from every country in the world in alphabetical order. “Every two weeks I’ll start a new country and I’ll start off by giving an in-depth view of the country,” she further explained in an interview with Eat Blog Talk. “So I’ll get fun facts and I’ll give an overview of the history. I’ll talk a little bit about the food culture and the flavors that are normally incorporated into the food in that country. I’ll also just give any other relevant information that might not go into those specific categories.”

After some initial background research comes the main dish. Depending on the country, she’ll share two to five recipes from that country over the next two weeks. “I try to do a main dish and an appetizer, and I always try to do a dessert because I love dessert,” says Drzazgowski. “So I’ll feature some food from that country.”

Like most food blogs, The Foreign Fork began as a passion project. After spending her final semester abroad, Drzazgowski backpacked across Europe. During her time across the ocean, she visited 15 countries in 18 weeks. Her favorite thing to explore in each and every one of them? Food.

“I’ve always loved cooking and baking, but when I was abroad, my love transformed into a border-line obsession,” she admits on her website. “I took countless cooking classes and food tours, I visited every local market I could find, and I would spend hours before dinner researching which restaurant would provide the most authentic experience.” Having returned to Michigan, she decided to keep her passion alive through the kitchen. Hence The Foreign Fork came to be.

With almost 200 countries behind her, Drzazgowski’s hobby has long outgrown its humble beginnings. And though she admits to being an amateur when it comes to cooking, her inquisitiveness makes up for it. “When I’m actually starting to cook from a country, I definitely do a lot of research,” she stresses in the interview. “It’s really important to be representing the culture of the country that you’re cooking in an accurate light and making sure that you’re doing it correctly. So I spend a lot of time doing research before I cook for my country.”

People are always looking for ways to make their kitchen “their own” and turn them into a reflection of their lives and passions. Well, for travelers, it can actually be quite easy to turn your kitchen into a monument to all of that globe-trotting you’ve done!

Check out these things you can incorporate into your kitchen from your travels to turn your space into a traveler paradise.

Magnets

Magnets are a common item sold at souvenir shops, and they might seem a little bit too expensive for what they are. However, you’ll be surprised at how much charm and shine magnets from a diverse array of travel destinations can bring to your refrigerator and your kitchen as a whole!

Mugs

If you’re anything like me, you probably love a morning or post-lunch coffee or tea as a pick-me-up. Why not make your mug variety reflect your travels as well? Pick up a mug the next time you go on vacation, and you’ll remember all the fun you had every time you use it.

Accessories

The great thing about kitchens is there is a whole host of accessories that can be used in them. Simply shopping at souvenir shops will lead you to all kinds of unique treasures you can place in your kitchen—like salt and pepper grinders, towels, or even plates. Choose what appeals to you the most!

Have you ever boarded a flight, been served a meal, and then got to wondering about how your food was prepared, and how it ended up safe and sound on a large airplane?

Airplane food is one of the great mysteries of travel, and the process that takes it from the kitchen to the plane is quite fascinating.

Large facilities located on or near the premises of airports are generally the ones that handle making food for flights—from the most basic economy meals to the most elaborate first class spreads.

These meals are made in giant warehouse facilities and loaded onto specialized trucks that load the pre-packaged, pre-made meals—which are generally made on the same day as flights—onto the aircraft.

After this, the meals are stored in refrigerators onboard the plane and then heated up in plane-safe ovens to raise the food’s temperature to a normal level.

Finally, aircraft crews spend a good portion of the time doling out these set meals—which are decided by the airlines themselves—to their passengers.

Making airplane food is a team effort, and none of it would be possible without the ground-level caterers, the decision-makers in the airline front offices, and the flight attendants who heat up the food and serve it to all. It’s a truly fascinating gastronomic feat!

Camping can be a rich and enjoyable experience. But it’s not always clear what to eat on your camping adventure. The cooking facilities aren’t exactly top notch, and you will often require quite a high calorie intake.

Here are 5 of the best foods to eat when camping.

Oats

Oats are the number one choice for camping. They are high in energy, which is slow released throughout the day They are also very easy to eat. You could simply add milk or water and put under a gentle heat, or eat it cold.

Potatoes

Delicious, high in energy, easy to cook. This is why potatoes are perfect for camping. Simply throw them in some boiling water for 10-20 minutes, and they will be ready to eat.

Mixed Vegetables

Packets of mixed vegetables are a useful food to have. You can boil them in water or fry them in a pan, whichever is more convenient. The excellent thing about mixed vegetables is they go with anything.

Ready-Made Stews

Carrying a plastic tub of stew might sound annoying, but it more than makes up for it when you’re enjoying it by the campfire. It is a warming and hearty meal that will lift your spirits to no end.

Nuts and Seeds

These are a great snack for if you’re hiking, sitting in the tent or need something to tide you over until your next meal. They don’t need to be refrigerated, and are higher in calories and harder to damage than fruit.

You don’t have to be a certified foodie to realize that food and travel go hand in hand. Enjoying a local dish is almost always the best way to experience a different culture and understanding better its history and tradition. Alexandria Drzazgowski understands this intuitively. The founder and recipe developer behind travel and food blog The Foreign Fork, she offers her audience a taste of the world through the kitchen.

The idea is simple: cooking one meal from every country in the world in alphabetical order. “Every two weeks I’ll start a new country and I’ll start off by giving an in-depth view of the country,” she further explained in an interview with Eat Blog Talk. “So I’ll get fun facts and I’ll give an overview of the history. I’ll talk a little bit about the food culture and the flavors that are normally incorporated into the food in that country. I’ll also just give any other relevant information that might not go into those specific categories.”

After some initial background research comes the main dish. Depending on the country, she’ll share two to five recipes from that country over the next two weeks. “I try to do a main dish and an appetizer, and I always try to do a dessert because I love dessert,” says Drzazgowski. “So I’ll feature some food from that country.”

Like most food blogs, The Foreign Fork began as a passion project. After spending her final semester abroad, Drzazgowski backpacked across Europe. During her time across the ocean, she visited 15 countries in 18 weeks. Her favorite thing to explore in each and every one of them? Food.

“I’ve always loved cooking and baking, but when I was abroad, my love transformed into a border-line obsession,” she admits on her website. “I took countless cooking classes and food tours, I visited every local market I could find, and I would spend hours before dinner researching which restaurant would provide the most authentic experience.” Having returned to Michigan, she decided to keep her passion alive through the kitchen. Hence The Foreign Fork came to be.

With almost 200 countries behind her, Drzazgowski’s hobby has long outgrown its humble beginnings. And though she admits to being an amateur when it comes to cooking, her inquisitiveness makes up for it. “When I’m actually starting to cook from a country, I definitely do a lot of research,” she stresses in the interview. “It’s really important to be representing the culture of the country that you’re cooking in an accurate light and making sure that you’re doing it correctly. So I spend a lot of time doing research before I cook for my country.”

People are always looking for ways to make their kitchen “their own” and turn them into a reflection of their lives and passions. Well, for travelers, it can actually be quite easy to turn your kitchen into a monument to all of that globe-trotting you’ve done!

Check out these things you can incorporate into your kitchen from your travels to turn your space into a traveler paradise.

Magnets

Magnets are a common item sold at souvenir shops, and they might seem a little bit too expensive for what they are. However, you’ll be surprised at how much charm and shine magnets from a diverse array of travel destinations can bring to your refrigerator and your kitchen as a whole!

Mugs

If you’re anything like me, you probably love a morning or post-lunch coffee or tea as a pick-me-up. Why not make your mug variety reflect your travels as well? Pick up a mug the next time you go on vacation, and you’ll remember all the fun you had every time you use it.

Accessories

The great thing about kitchens is there is a whole host of accessories that can be used in them. Simply shopping at souvenir shops will lead you to all kinds of unique treasures you can place in your kitchen—like salt and pepper grinders, towels, or even plates. Choose what appeals to you the most!

Have you ever boarded a flight, been served a meal, and then got to wondering about how your food was prepared, and how it ended up safe and sound on a large airplane?

Airplane food is one of the great mysteries of travel, and the process that takes it from the kitchen to the plane is quite fascinating.

Large facilities located on or near the premises of airports are generally the ones that handle making food for flights—from the most basic economy meals to the most elaborate first class spreads.

These meals are made in giant warehouse facilities and loaded onto specialized trucks that load the pre-packaged, pre-made meals—which are generally made on the same day as flights—onto the aircraft.

After this, the meals are stored in refrigerators onboard the plane and then heated up in plane-safe ovens to raise the food’s temperature to a normal level.

Finally, aircraft crews spend a good portion of the time doling out these set meals—which are decided by the airlines themselves—to their passengers.

Making airplane food is a team effort, and none of it would be possible without the ground-level caterers, the decision-makers in the airline front offices, and the flight attendants who heat up the food and serve it to all. It’s a truly fascinating gastronomic feat!

Camping can be a rich and enjoyable experience. But it’s not always clear what to eat on your camping adventure. The cooking facilities aren’t exactly top notch, and you will often require quite a high calorie intake.

Here are 5 of the best foods to eat when camping.

Oats

Oats are the number one choice for camping. They are high in energy, which is slow released throughout the day They are also very easy to eat. You could simply add milk or water and put under a gentle heat, or eat it cold.

Potatoes

Delicious, high in energy, easy to cook. This is why potatoes are perfect for camping. Simply throw them in some boiling water for 10-20 minutes, and they will be ready to eat.

Mixed Vegetables

Packets of mixed vegetables are a useful food to have. You can boil them in water or fry them in a pan, whichever is more convenient. The excellent thing about mixed vegetables is they go with anything.

Ready-Made Stews

Carrying a plastic tub of stew might sound annoying, but it more than makes up for it when you’re enjoying it by the campfire. It is a warming and hearty meal that will lift your spirits to no end.

Nuts and Seeds

These are a great snack for if you’re hiking, sitting in the tent or need something to tide you over until your next meal. They don’t need to be refrigerated, and are higher in calories and harder to damage than fruit.
