You know you're in Germany when...

...you have sausage with every meal.

No kiddin'. Every damn meal. We didn't even plan it that way; it just happened. Admittedly there were only 4 meals, but we were still batting 1000.

I accidentally tried to eat the staple on one end of a sausage. I didn't notice it at first, but I certainly noticed it when biting down. (Fortunately not too hard - I wouldn't know how to deal with a dental emergency in my country, much less another one.) But that's how you know it's genuine sausage - the casing is still stapled shut when it's put on your plate. Yum.

I'm aiming for some schnitzel this coming weekend, but if it's more cheese & sausage I won't complain. There's apparently something called "musical cheese", which is specifically designed to make you gassy. And I still need to get hold of some Apfelwein.
