Germany - food

Quite a long time ago we were sitting in a little bar in Rio de Janeiro called Bar Brazil, which we had wandered into to find some local food. We were a very surprised to find that there was in fact no Brazilian food but a menu consisting only of German delights. Ryan excitedly ordered the smoked pork chops for two and we were extremely impressed with the quality of the food, so much so that we have both agreed this meal was potentially the best we have had on our trip.

Therefore, three months later, we were both really excited to get to Germany and try a few resturants to see if we could find a meal to compare. While most meals have started with a tasting of local German beers we have then enjoyed baked, broiled, pickled pork, knuckles, trotters and chops all served with mountains of potatoes (our favourite was the potato dumplings) and pickles! We also enjoyed an apertiser of raw pork minced served with various seasonings, asparagus rolled in Black Forest ham and a traditional huntsman schnitzel. To be honest we never found a meal quite as good as the one in Rio, but we did love all the German food and look forward to making it when we get home.
