Being a vegetarian I wasn’t looking forward to Bavarian food. Then I discovered käsespätzle, or Bavarian mac and cheese with fried onions. Each time the waiter would put it down I would say, “wow, that is a huge portion”. Then I would proceed to gobble it down because I love mac and cheese! In fact, I can talk about different mac and cheeses almost as long as Logan can talk about desserts. Also, it turns out käsespätzle tastes great with beer… just like Kraft mac & cheese taste great with coke. I will admit the käsespätzle and beer are of a much higher quality. But Kraft and Coke is the taste of my childhood.
The rest of the family ate sausages. I did not take photos of all the sausages, although there were lots of different kinds. There appears to be a picture of some meat too… not sure what animal. (Addendum: Matthew just read my post and informs me that the meat below is boiled ox. And I recall he and Ethan seemed to like it).
And once I got obatzda (Bavarian cheese spread) instead of the mac and cheese. Sadness followed.
Ahhh! Natalie and kraft mac&cheese!
I recall the companion drink in the 80’s was more often Chek Cola than Coke :). Good times. LOVE the blog.
Yikes… I forgot about Chek Cola. No longer seems worth saving a few cents to drink that.
