German Eats

Before I left Thunder Bay, my very wise grandfather told me 'Germans aren't really known for their food, you know!' And so far I can't really argue. While both Max and his mother are excellent cooks and have made me some delicious meals, I have yet to enjoy any true German cuisine. 

Here are some photos of some of the interesting German dishes I have been sampling!

Max's mom's home made pumpkin soup. Delish!

The Nürnbuger from McDonalds! (I didn't actually eat this but I felt the picture was worth sharing).

Knödel and rot kraut. This wasn't really a favourite of mine.

Some strange soup I had at Max's school cafeteria. The larger balls of dough have meat in them from 'the inside of animals bones'. Yuck. I had a few bites of this before heading home to heat up left overs of the pumpkin soup. 




 Even though the last two dishes were super gross not exactly to my liking, I have ate lots of delicious food so far... It just hasn't been German food. Oh well! I have high hopes for the Nürnburger!

I will spend tonight dreaming about The Nürnbuger.
