Random notes: food

Our apartment had a small cook-top and refridgerator, and the bakery was only a short walk. We ate more bread than we usually do: the rolls, pretzels and croissants were fresh and great tasting and we had them everyday for breakfast. Several nights we cooked pasta or wurst. Because the end of the day for us was pretty variable, between traveling and visiting, we really liked the flexibility to eat later.

The home-cooked meals we had with relatives were wonderful. Even food-court eating was good -- although Katie sometimes had just a couple of vegitarian options -- Sean liked schnitzel sandwiches. For me, the jury is still out on the curry-wurst. I brought back some sauce mix to try at home.

Based on a quick look, bottled beer and bottled water cost about the same in the store, so we avoided buying water.

The kids both liked the mix of cola and limo (citrus-flavored soda) (name: TBD). They didn't seem to mind the lack of ice in drinks. Both also tried a radler (beer and limo mix) and didn't like it. I think Mary Ellen and I had Weissbeir exclusively, though not by intention.

"Ein beer' was almost always offered when we visited. But it was only offered to me, which ME and I both thought was interesting. No slight was intended, of course.
