In winter it’s basically a winter custom here in Northern Germany to eat Grünkohl (kale or leaf cabbage).

For both we have just the name Taube. I assume the bird in the photo is called dove in English, because it’s a white one, I think those that are not white are called pigeon, do I understand this right? Continue reading Beautiful Dove
