Food & Beverages... thus far!
The hosts in Germany have been very kind to me .. exposing me to the variety of Bavarian specialties ....
often we eat at home ....
I had some snacks in my room, and Malaysian Maggi Mee just in case :-P
I did my own fushion once *smile* and have grown used to the more normal German breakfast ...
Sausages are yummy here ... (and this comment is coming from me --> a grandson of a butcher).
and .. Sauerkraut. is quite an experience!
The cold meat, bread and cheese evenings were interesting.
at times I'd be surprised by German versions of curry turkey!
Pre-Christmas Chocolate cookies!
Sausages again! Yummy!
simple dinner ...
a special treat was this lamb dish ... Oh my ... I'm speechless!
Many Germans like sweet things ... ice cream in autumn was fun!
I even had Mexican food one evening ... El Paso!
Bread, cheese, coffee was a breakfast norm ...
Had an interesting snack at a birthday party of a 70 year old lady! The Cheese cake was "heavenly"!
The last supper on Saturday last week .. was a nice homecooked meal.
I yielded to the temptation to try a noodle dish at the ONLY Chinese restaurant. This is the only meal I paid for myself ... thus far apart from some snacks. As I said the hosts has been generous and kind to my "growing" body!
And of course, the wine has been great and the beer incomparable with what we have in Malaysia ... I was introduced to "healthy" beer :-) Prost! Cheers!
and .. one more week of German food!
(Note: this post is not an accurate portrayal of the "total program" which I'm part of ... but these were delightful interludes! *grin*)
Drool, drool!! Slice of the finest! :)
