What do the Germans and Puerto Ricans have in common? This! Schäufele, which is pretty much pork shoulder roasted all day. Sound familiar? Great stuff!
I landed in Germany…
And within 10 minutes I had a plate full of curry wurst.
Hey all. It’s Passport DC here this weekend which means many of the non-EU Embassies (EU Embassy Weekend is next weekend) are having celebrations and dishing out food and drink. Above is the sausage and cheese plates from the Serbian Embassy. They also had some great music and dancing.
The lines to get into both Japan and Venezuela were blocks long. Now we’re hoping to hit up Turkey and Ukraine. I am hungry!
Washington DC
Hey all! I will be traveling to DC this weekend. Have you been there? I’m looking for some great ideas of places to eat and or drink. I’m also a big fan of buying coffee at various local roasters whenever in a new city so please give me your ideas. Ok?
The new issue of Bon Appetit finally came in the mail today. There was a nice little bit inside about Slovenia, one of my favorite travel destinations, which is very much worth a read.
The other day I made my first Flammekuech. What is a Flammerkuech you ask? It’s a delicious onion tart, popular in the Alsace region of France, as well as across the Rhine in Germany. Click the photo for more about the recipe. (full disclosure, the picture above is not my own cooking, mine, while ever so good, didn’t look quite as nice as this one)
But the real reason I made this onion tart, and I urge you to do the same, is because I’m getting ready for a trip next month to Alsace as well as Salzburg, Austria and Nuremberg, Germany. I’m sending a call out for any good tips of things to do, eat, and see. Have you any ideas? I will be in Nuremberg for a brief stop, but we’ll be spending more time in Salzburg as well as a few days just outside of Colmar in the Alsace region of France. Thanks for all your help!
Hey all - this link came across my path earlier this week. It’s a quick little bit about a Polish immigrant continuing the tradition of European sausage making right here in Milwaukee. Check out his website too… he ships!!!
