The sausage nightmare

So I mentioned in yesterday's post that my sausage at the Christmas German market last weekend had rid me of my phobia following my recent sausage experience in Berlin......here's the evidence

Never one to be tempted by a one pot meal (I like variety, a selection of nibbly bits, a sauce to dip into etc....) it was extremely unlike me to opt for the sausage platter, however when in a Bavarian Berlin bar it seemed rude not to sample the specialities.

3 different styles of sausage served on a bed of mash and two small dipping pots arrived and although I tried my very best to enjoy it, the majority was left!!!!! It was a definite sausage overload

And so I still needed feeding.....hello apple strudel :) :) I tried the sausage and its safe to say I will not be trying again, next time I'll stick to my variety of dishes - with a sauce!!!!

Christmas time = German market time

I need no convincing when it comes to going to a market at the weekend as you may well of guessed from previous posts - its definitely my favourite way of spending a Saturday afternoon and Christmas isn't Christmas until a visit to the German market in Old market square has happened.

Last Saturday afternoon this happened and my festive countdown began. Jack and I headed straight for the sausage stall - I never thought Id eat another sausage after my recent Berlin trip however I'm not one to break a tradition and Ive now overcome my fear after eating far too many whilst there (maybe a post is in order about this experience) As Christmas shoppers stopped for their energy re-fuel, others casually browsed the eclectic stalls (this was definitely us - we were in no hurry)

My usual photographs of fudge stalls happened - I'm sure i could fill a scrap book with my annual snap shots - how many pictures of the same things do i need???

Unlike us we finished the afternoon with a coffee!!!!!!! and not a bear / mulled wine - I suppose some traditions were broken that afternoon.
