Rettich


This is incredibly tasty, we call it “Rettich” in Germany. I actually tried to translate it but found out it is called “radish” in English, which is strange. Why? Because it seems the same word is used for another type of vegetables, the one we call Radieschen. I have no clue why “Radieschen” and “Rettich” are both called “radish” in English. Yes, they taste similar but they look very different. How do you distinguish if someone sends you to purchase “radish”? Continue reading Rettich

And it was extremely delicious… Continue reading Bratwurst and Fried Potatoes

So, I ended up with a meal that I would call “Fried potatoes with fried eggs … Continue reading Fried Potatoes with Fried Eggs and a Green Beans Cream Sauce

Beef Roulade


I thought I upload a photo for my food photography category again. My grandma cooked the dish you can see in the picture above. We ate that during Christmas and that’s when I took the picture.

This is also a very common German dish and extremely tasty. Continue reading Beef Roulade

Chinese Buffet


Like a month ago, I went into a Chinese Mongolian restaurant again. We decided for the buffet again. I didn’t photograph my first plate as I was hungry and as I filled it diversely to the point that it looked like a mess. But I made more efforts with my second plate and made it look good. I decided for curry rice, a delicious sauce with onions, paprika and string beans and I think it was turkey meat. And mushrooms! I can’t tell you how much I like mushrooms. We sat there for 3 hours again and had a fun … Continue reading Chinese Buffet
