i like the Goulash spice mix and Rham sauce mixes also.

On one trip to Germany, we literally had an extra suitcase to bring home the coffee. We love Germany coffee (Jacobs, Dallmayr,Tchibo) The vacuum-sealed packages are durable for transport.
Also suggest packing some large and extra-large Ziplock bags. If you purchase any liquid items (mustard, honey, etc.), it would be extra insurance for the rest of your luggage during the trip home.

My list is getting longer! Hooray! JJtraveler: I like coffee that is not too strong....not as strong as Starbucks. Are any that you mention above a medium type blend?

Just returned and wanted to thank you all for the wonderful advise! Brought lots of goodies home. Found Munich bags in three differant terrific styles (one in shop on corner near Hofbrauhaus. Huge selection of most everything I was looking for... candies, cookies, mustard and spices at neat underground market near train station, was either Kaufhof or Karstadt. Bought coffee at Dallmayr and went upstairs to drink some as well and could not resist the chocolate cream puff to go with it. If you are going to castle Neuschwanstein don't miss the gift shop near the ticket booths with German Christmas ornaments upstairs, even bought liederhosen (excuse my spelling) there for my teddybear. Also, adorable shops in the quaint little town of Fussen where the train drops you off. By the way, we stayed at Hotel Jedermann in Munich close to train station...great! Thanks again for you help!
