A Month of German Grub

Somewhat tangential and before I delete them ( Mr. Google is badgering), I thought it might be fun to post pics of some of what we ate out in Germany. Unser Essen.

Many are traditional German meals mixed with Italian and Greek dishes, together with a friends' fabulous cooking. 

Some salads? yes! 

We didn't cook for a month!

For fun, let us know if there's anything here you'd eat too!

  3. Wow! I'm getting hungry just looking at these photos Woodsy!!! When we got back to the States I missed Mezzo Mix until I figured out the Coke/Fanta secret. Did you ever have Zwiebelkuchen?

    1. Nein, not had those Ed. Are they fried onions cakes?

    2. Not quite sure what a fried onion cake is but it reminds me of an onion and ham fritatta but placed in the oven instead of being cooked on the stove top. It's about the size of a standard pie, is about the thickness of a cheesecake, and has a filling of fried onions and bacon or ham. I miss it a lot.

    3. No, I don't know that one Ed. Like Kibberling, never tried that either.
