Nutmeg’s parents (Hot Sauce and Chili) love to travel. Last year, they put a mere 6000 nautical miles on their boat doing the Great Loop Miss Bim’s Adventures. This year they have decide to take on Europe in 7 weeks and do a driving road trip. They start the adventure in Gothenburg (Sweden), at the Volvo factory, with a tour and a new car. They will have a GPS and are fully equipped with the latest technology to get from point to point. However, Nutmeg is concerned they may not have done all their research, on the food and drink options that await them in the next few weeks. So, the following is an overview of the trip and Nutmeg’s food guide to help them narrow down the endless possibilities:
| City | Country | Food Possibilities |
| Copenhagen | Denmark | Frikadeller (meatballs), with cabbage and beets |
| Kristiansand | Norway | Smoked Salmon, Gravlax, Open faced sandwiches, Meats served with juniper berries and lingonberry jam. One interesting thing is that Norway is the world’s leading coffee consumer. |
| Stavanger | |
| Burgen | |
| Oslo | |
| Stockholm | Sweden | Smilar to Norwary but add pickled herring, Swedish meatballs and akevitt (deadly white liquor) |
| Helsinki | Finland | Cabbage rolls, game, hernekeitto (pea soup) and Karelian pies |
| Estonia | |
| Riga | Latvia | Dinner with cold borscht, pot cooked cabbage, a cotlette, a gherkin, sour milk (kefir) and some kvass (beer). |
