German Food

At the deli--all pork products. I had the most amazing ham in Germany--it was like a salami with bits of truffle in it.

In the back are lamb chops and fries. Notice the lamb plate--this is at a restaurant called the Golden Lamb. Front plate has an assortment of sausages, sauerkraut, scalloped potatoes, and this ham patty thing that is special to Heidelberg. Also some mustard.

On the left, potato soup. Front, grilled pork knuckle. In the back schnitzel with mushroom sauce. All of it was really good.

A dish particular to Hessen province, called green sauce. It's yogurt with herbs and eggs.

One of the many gelato places we went to. That thing on the left is gelato spaghetti, which is made with vanilla gelato and strawberry sauce. Sundaes in Europe are so much better than in America!

And lastly, a bit about the food: lots of meat and carbs, and really heavy. Not necessarily greasy, but it would leave me feel like I'd sink like a rock if I fell into the water. Or like I could chop wood with my bare hands. Here are some photos...
