Well, in order to complete my graduate degree, I am taking an independent field study to a few different countries in Europe, and as a part of that, I will be interviewing various people in the government and business world. I am not allowed to give them money in exchange for the brief (about an hour long) interviews, but I am allowed to give them something small as a gift for taking the time to meet with me.
In that sense, I wanted to give them something tasty (food or drink-related) that I could easily pack to get over there. Since I live in Minnesota, I thought about something like Caribou Coffee beans (since that is a MN company - or at least used to be), or wild rice or something like that. But I wanted to see if any of you might have better ideas.
Just in case it helps, I will be going to Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia and Slovakia.
Oh, and if any of you are familiar with those places, and have ideas for gifts from there (food related, if possible) to bring back, or specific foods that you think that I just *have* to try while there (traditional Hungarian goulash, for instance), then I would love to hear those ideas, too!
Thanks in advance!
