A gorgeous Wooden music box with individual dancers


Fries and mayonnaise. Das Beste! Anyone had it?


Second hand Tupperware. Is Luke Skywalker's blue milk flask in there?  Nearly. I thought the white one was!

Liquorice sweets in Jumbo supermarket. My favourite. Yours?


Total Loss sweets! The gummi cars are actually crashing!


Kewpie Mayonnaise. Kewpie is an old doll brand. Or?


Dutch lunch. The chocolate drops get dropped in the hot milk and melted. Cream on top. Heaven? Do you like hot choc?


My new favourite soft drink, Spezi or Mezzo Mix aka cola and Fanta. Have you tried it?

The Gasometer in Oberhausen, a vast reclaimed gas silo now used for exhibitions. A huge tourist attraction. Anyone been?


The elk at the entrance of the Gasometer.


The illuminated tree display at the top of the Gasometer. Wunderschön. Anyone been?

  2. Kewpie is Japanese mayo.A little different in taste(a little more tart)and a little thicker in texture.In my opinion,can be used like the mayo were used to.Probably good on fries!

    1. Fascinating Brian. Just been reading about Kewpie dolls. It's an interesting history Kewpie - Wikipedia https://share.google/u4n54TirsbYSX6uK0

  3. Black pepper and mayonnaise on chips is the best, I first came across this at a festival we played in Walldorf, i had a Jerry Seinfeld moment with a girl who managed to get mayo up her arms, in her hair, god it was all over her, needless to say the relationship didn't go any further than the mayo on chips, that said it hasn't put me off partaking in this culinary excellence 😀
