Notwithstanding highly spurious stories concerning roaming zombies and gladiatorial combat between midgets and lions in Cambodia, I figured it was high time to stop procrastinating, get out of Asia and finally get a real taste of Europe.
So no sooner had I landed in Frankfurt and sorted out a roof over my head, it was time to sample that famed German cuisine. Skirting the red light district, and negotiating through the business district, I finally chanced upon a thronging pedestrain mall, abounding with the sizzling sounds of fast frying wurst.
Dusting of my high-school German, I ordered a plate of assorted snags and a tankard of the local pilsener. What a feast! And abounding in natural goodness. When it comes to healthy eating, the Deutschlanders have it covered. My elegantly presented meal comprised balanced portions of the five major food groups, namely:
- muscle
- fat
- gristle
- offal, and
- blood
For good measure they even threw in a pickled gherkin and a healthy dollop of mustard. Next stop: the sauerkraut booth and the ever-beckoning pretzel stand. What I love about this food, is you can taste it for hours, nay, days afterward.
Schmeckt gut!
