Dinner

Gratuitous food posting...

Dinner was at the Brauhaus Goslar, because of the beer. They brew Gose beer, based on the Medieval recipe including salt and coriander. Because of this, the beer doesn't pass under the German Beer Purity Act. It was good though. His; dunkel. Mine: with cherry liqueur.

As for food, apparently it's Pfifferlingsaison! Mushroom season. So there was schnitzel with spätzle and mushroom cream sauce with a salad (ew who needs that to bring you down), and beef rouladen stuffed with speck and wild mushrooms in Gose beer sauce, Bratkartoffeln and red cabbage. A good first German meal.

After that, we shared one scoop of hazelnut ice cream on the way back, forgoing the Schlumpf (known to American as Smurfs) flavor. If my German were better, I might have asked if it was made of real Schlumpfs.

Also special treat: the carillion played while we were eating, and part of it was the miners' song I inundated everyone with on our Christmas Market trip, "Gluck Auf"Read more
