Not much to look at but a simple home made dinner in the Italian-speaking region of Ticino in Switzerland - Pasta with a slab of butter and Ticino sausages. And at 9 swiss francs (around £5) its the cheapest dinner you'll eeever have here.
Pork knuckle on a bed of sauerkraut and mustard sauce in Lausanne, near Geneva. A big muvva of a meal and not for everyone - especially the pickley sauerkraut, but i do love my pickle. 
Snails in Paris, at Le Colimacon. Unfortunately not as good as I've had before in Bath - garlic good, but otherwise it was a bit chewy and squid like. The meal was alright in general (I had Steak entrecote, below, for main with what suspiciously looked like marrow for sauce) but too expensive for what it was. And french being french, they dont believe in condiments (not my kind of country then) and so just salted the steak, which was fine, if there was only a helping of Bernaise sauce.. 
And finally.. THIS thing. Named as L'Andouillete Gastronomique, this is apparently Lyon's pride and joy. I like to think of it as a joke played on foreigners from all french. We did think it looked like mushed up hamster but even that would taste better. I found a description on the net... Traditional Andouillette is made from the colon and the stomach of pigs. A modern version may also contain cattle offal. The French andouillette is an acquired taste and can be off-putting to diners due to its extremely pungent odor, often compared to the smell of faeces.
I am so glad i tried this dish BEFORE i read this description. I had heard it was made of colon and intestines but did not think about the faeces - luckily mine didn't smell. Nonetheless, i picked at it, gave up (and i hardly ever give up on food) and instead took a photo so you can share in my wonderful experience.
