Lean Mean German Cuisine

Fresh Fresh Fresh !!! Never had such juicy and succulent meat than I had from the Apfelwein Solzer in Bornheim, Frankfurt. This was probably the best meat I’ve had in a long time. This event was a wonderful social event and we were served three different selections of meat. Sausage, Beef and Pork. There were potatoes served in three different forms, fully mashed, in half slices, and in small pieces. You know you are very hungry when you are eating your food and then look up and everyone is watching you eat. Apparently I was eating 45 min after everyone else had stopped eating. We came there to eat and I did not fail to accomplish this task. Of course we had some Apfelwein. This was surprisingly a good experience with Apfelwein (First time I had Apfelwein I did not eat while I drank and lets just say my stomach started speaking more languages than the Brothers Grimm.) This was absolutely an amazing atmosphere. As a group we were about 30 in total. I did not fail to hold conversations with both tables. Anyone who truly knows me. Knows I cannot and will refuse to stop talking. The ladies who orchestrate our trips, they are always very friendly. They really influenced the flow of conversation. I believe maybe they wanted to know our true feelings concerning Germany. We talked mostly about the differences within Germany. The language differences regarding how fast or slow the people speak, the way the words sound, and where they place stress on a single word when speaking. Apparently my favorite part of Germany (Bayern) has the The most interesting topic was the different attitudes from Northern to Central and Southern Germany. I started to realize they are not so different from the USA. As a foreigner of Germany, I felt it was interesting to hear the different experiences of the natives and my friends at the Goethe Institut. Many people had good experiences in one region of Germany and others had bad experiences. For this reason I do not allow other people to influence my decisions to visit places. I feel as though I have a natural love to travel and experience for myself.  P.s. Sometimes when people have many bad experiences in one area, I go straight to that area so I can see for myself.  Everywhere you go, you will meet some good people, and some not so good people. Of course going into a dangerous area is never a good idea. Every experience shapes you. It Molds you and  transforms you into the person you are today. SO if have an itch to go somewhere, go satisfy that longing and learn something new. I’ll tell you one thing, If you don’t, KENNETH DOWNING SURE WILL. Stay tuned folks!!!
