Apfelstrudel is a traditional Austrian dessert made of thin, flaky pastry wrapped around a spiced apple filling. Its contrast of crisp layers and soft, aromatic interior makes it especially comforting and delicious.

Pan bagnat is a traditional sandwich from the city of Nice on the French Riviera. Its name comes from the Provençal dialect and means “bathed bread,” referring to the olive oil that soaks the crusty round loaf. Inspired by the famous Niçoise salad, pan bagnat is typically filled with tuna, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, olives, anchovies, and fresh vegetables. Originally created by fishermen and workers in the late 19th century as an inexpensive and nourishing meal, it has since become one of southern France’s most beloved culinary specialties.
