OMG you mean you don't wear dirndls!!!!

what do I remember about Berlin .... the aforeposted Berliner Weisse, of course the Brandenburg Gate, the wall (this was a while ago when I was on vacation from Muenchen), the Ku-damm, and the memorial church.
oh and two friends of mine and I made the political statement of pissing on the wall.

So the usual touristy stuff...

The places I ended up with all my friends from abroad are that cozy Irish pub in the district of Kreuzberg, "The Old Emerald Isle", and the club that I used to work for, the "K17": http://k17.de/. And of course we always had "traditional" Berlin food: kebab and falafel.

I think the photo above was taken in Schwaebisch Gemuend.

@lizard: When was that pic taken? I'm glad my parents never tortured me in such a cruel way...

@lurch: You learnt your lesson... Don't mess with German girls!
Mozart was Austrian, maybe that's why they laughed when you mentioned his "Kleine Nachtmusik"...

 

[lizard]

that picture must have been about 72 or 73??
my mom says all the fraus marvelled at what a chubby baby I was. I took forever to learn to walk because it was so easy just to sit around eating weisswurst and spaetzle or whatever my mom was feeding me.

[lizard]

I need to find some spaetzle
gottverdampt Ohio.
you know what, we have a restaurant in the city that calls itself Schmidt's German Village, and you know what they call their sausages? Bahama Mamas! Have you ever heard of such blasphemy.

Ignorant...

 

[lizard]

woah, awesome.

Snow2Fall, if you miss Venom, you're not missing much.

Need a recipe for Spätzle or some ready-made stuff? I keep sending German chocolate over to a friend in Maryland, and he pays me back with either Old Bay Seasoning or CD-Rs.

Haha, I even have Venom's "Black Metal" somewhere. I put it on when I need a good laugh... Works perfectly.

 

[lizard]

hey a spaetzle recipe would be cool.....
I finally found a store here that sells Haribo GoldBaren so I'll be all set!! now if I could only find a good retailer for Paulaner

 

[snow2fall]

Ok, here goes... Practice your German!


Spätzle
(für 4 Personen)

Zutaten:

500 g Mehl, Salz, 4 Eier, 1/4 l Wasser
Zum Kochen: 2 l Wasser, Salz

Zubereitung:

Mehl in eine Schüssel geben. In die Mitte eine Mulde drücken, Salz, Wasser und Eier hineingeben. Von der Mitte her einen glatten Teig rühren, 30 Min quellen lassen.
Wasser mit Salz in einem großen Topf aufkochen. Spätzleteig portionsweise auf einem mit kaltem Wasser abgespülten Spätzlebrett glattstreichen. Mit dem Messer Spätzle in das kochende Wasser schaben und 5 Min kochen lassen. Hin und wieder umrühren. Wenn die Spätzle an die Oberfläche steigen sind sie gar.



Got it?!
