We're not long back from a trip to Germany - which was many shades of awesome, and one of the stand out things was the food. I kept a food diary for once (I'll let my husband blog about the veggie offerings, but my fears were misplaced, everywhere we went had a choice of veggie options, with no fan fare)
Anyway - this is from a week, in Augsburg & Muinch. We were visiting a friend so some meals were family meals - which always makes food taste better

So, that's a week of food - I should probably do this more often, but I can tell you just from glancing at it, I really like beer and pretzels, and I'm determined to try and make my own at some point.
What I also notice, is at no point do I mention breakfast - that's because I had the same thing every morning, cold meat, cheese, lovely crustry bread, tomatos, yogurt and fresh fruit - and strong, wonderful, life affirming coffee

Monday - Hueveros Rancheros at Giraffe, lunch with Anna's mums - roasted tomatos and a couscous salad . Pretzels. Peppermint tea. Beer.
Tuesday - Nordsee cold fish finger type thing, chips with tartar sauce, tiny weeny Cokes. Ice cream. Schnitzel with Bavarian pasta and mushrooms. Beer. A pretzel waiting for Pete and Anna to come back from running.
Wednesday - coffee and Apple cake (in a weird, dated coffee shop) Hofbräuhaus! Brockwurst, German potato salad, pretzels and bread. Beer, more beer. Coke a Colas, afri Colas, meatcakes and salad, beer.
Thursday - ice cream, beer, beer, iced coffee, salami bagel, buckets of fizzy water and the best gnocchi with gorgonzola I've ever eaten, polished off with half a lovely tiramasu
Friday, iced coffee, pretzel, fanta, pizza, water, ice cream, tofu cabonara, salad from a salad bowl the size of my head, frozen bellinis, beer, caprinahs... Oh dear god, I've aquired a glow stick, I'm drinking very alcoholic, over priced cocktails and I'm dancing to a Justin Timberlake / Beyonce megamix in a cloud of dry ice.... Kebab (but an excellent kebab, probably the best I've had since I was in turkey)
Saturday - a hangover curing afri-cola, a salami bagel, half a pretzel and coffee. Ice tea, another kebab (maybe not as good as last nights, but still good) and a sprite.
Sunday - self baked pretzels, but with jam this time, summer vegetable stew, with spinach pizza and a plum crumble with plums stolen from next doors tree (at Anna's mothers house) then a final coffee in PowWow / MomMob (There's been a falling out with the owner, who is on the run, so they've turned the sign upside down - genius). Beer, salami sandwich and potato wedges with sour cream at theHofbräuhaus concession at the airport before heading home.
