Interesting about the hops. DH likes to tell us about "hardest job of his life", working as a teenager harvesting hops, somewhere near Regensburg. All the other kids ran away after a few days, but he stuck it out for the whole harvest.
I guess it's the Bavarian version of "walking to school -ten miles-each way- uphill-in the snow". :) |
They may never tell...
|
Also being a Catholic you should know that pride is one of the sins.
|
Maybe just nitpicking, but the pedantic me needs to point out that that wheat beer is either called
<b>"Hefewei<u>z</u>en"</b> or <b>"Wei<u>ss</u>bier"</b> but <b>definitely not</b> "Hefeweisen". |
Ziana, what the heck is your problem?? Why am I defending my ancestry on a message board?
|
Yes hsv - you ARE nitpicking. No maybes about it - LOL. I have enough trouble spelling in English, let alone German. I consider the fact that I only misspelled the word by 1 letter as a personal success ;)
|
Because you started it by shoving your pride into 'mutts' majority faces. Easy as that!
|
Yeah, Ziana, because she made it sound as if all americans come from a mixed background, which is absolutely not so. You're rude and downright BIZARRE comments are out of line. Grow up.
|
Against masses...always a loser.
I remember there were people who fought for pure blood...what they were called? And where they are now? Pale looking... Nobody is a pure bred in this world...nobody! My dog maybe... |
Grow up. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having pride in ones culture. That's my last comment on this subject.

J_Correa,
indeed :-)! German admittedly is pretty hard. BTW I think Trader Joe's is a good suggestion (after all it is German owned) for obtaining authentic products (although I hate Weizenbier exactly for its banana taste - so glad you mentioned it! I always receive disbelieving stares when mentioning that it tastes like fermented bananas:-) ). |
Just read the thread and must say it sounds like a German food fight!
|
LOL hsv, I did not know that it was German owned, but just looked it up on Wikipedia. I knew it was privately held (if not, I would have bought stock in it years ago).
Keeping in the spirit of the original thread: Trader Joe's frozen strudels are imported from Germany and are not too bad for a $3 dessert. We also buy Bavarian Rye bread, Gerolsteiner water, Bahlsen cookies... I'm sure I'll think of something else. Maybe the staff should switch from those Hawaiian print shirts to lederhosen :) |
And at Christmastime Trader Joes stocks leibkuchen - mmmmmm :)
Ok - that's it. I am packing it in, heading home and having a couple beers. |
Oh, how could I have forgotten the German holiday treats at TJ's: lebkuchen, pfeffernusse, stollen, Adventskalendar, marzipan.
(go easy on me, spelling Polizei, ;) ) |
Hi
Sorry it took a while to responds. "Lachs" is the German spelling of lox. It's not smoked salmon because the curing process is different. When I had a lachs, creamcheese and Bagel in Munich, I knew I was close to heaven. |
>go easy on me, spelling Polizei
That wasn't bad at all, you get one extra point for spelling :D It's Pfeffernuesse and Adventskalender, the rest was perfect :-) |
logos,
I also didn't capitalize the nouns. :( |
Don't be too hard on youself ;-) 90% of all people who post here, can't even write "Fuessen" or "Duesseldorf" properly :-). Hopefully the www.bahn.de site will punish them for their poor spelling, but that's a different story :D
|
lvk,
the contents of your fridge sound a lot like those of my relatives in the L.A. area. :-) Always amazing coming to visit an area that's about half-way round the world just to find Gerolsteiner mineral water, raw-smoked ham and German beers (although they could improve their choice on those) readily available. |
