Hi Kavey - glad you had a good time in Germany though sorry to hear about your lurgy. (Can't Mamta prescribe you some strong antibiotics so you will be fine for tomorrow!)

Be interesting to read soon about your experience of German food. We tend to think of it as being rather drab (Sausages and Sauerkraut ) but obviously you must have made some good discoveries! I know their cheese, hams. fish and soups are reported to be very good.

When I think of German food I think spicy cold meats and frikendellen (a sort of spicy burger often eaten cold while drinking steins of beer)

Steve

Well I've had them from 2 different suppliers both seeming to be of German origin?.. next time I see them I'll take a better look at the packet before I rip it to bits... lol

Steve

Hmm, well there are a lot of similar/ shared foods across Scandinavia so it's certainly possible they are made/ available in Germany. But I think the word is Swedish or Danish, so probably the origins too.

We did have some meatballs which were a lot like frikadellen but named something else, as part of the traditional meals we were given in the abbey. Very nice!
