We Interrupt this Program

Le Blanc et Noir

... for some wonderful wintry homemade foodz. Above, boudin blanc and boudin noir, the latter fried in a little duck fat, sprinkled with some butter, lemon juice and parsley --- awesome! Below, the well known and loved meatfest known to the locals as choucroute.

Meatz are back!

Unfortunately, none of our readers seem to realize that Anke tends to cook mainly vegetarian food whenever Frans is sick.

Fortunately, Frans is feeling a little better today, so, yesterday, we made up for the lack of damage we have done to the environment in the past few days...

Mr. Bojangles is mister no more. We took him to the vet, to have his junk removed. We are feeling pretty guilty now.

Meatfest Friday

Choucroute

After a nice little walk in the snow with Ellen and Christiaan, we went to France to get the ingredients for a veritable Meatfest Friday.

Foodz from the Roadz

Before we left Saarbruecken, we drove around town a little bit to see where we may live next year. We came across a slaughterhouse with a couple of meat wholesalers and restaurants.

We had boudin noir, that apparently is not served shaped like a sausage in Germany. It had a wonderfully clovey taste. Also, we had Weißwurst that was even better than Cafe Konstanz's Weißwurst. We did not take a picture, but we will make it up to you in a couple of months.

Instead of heading north, we decided to head south, to see what else what more or less in the neighborhood. We found simple French supermarkets, that already stocked all kinds of exciting foodz, and, a little further down, we even found wineries. We ended up in Lapoutroie which we visited one and a half year ago.

The hotel that we stayed in then was full, so we went to the other restaurant.

The farmer's salad was good, the onion tart was very delicious.

How can one visit the Alsace in winter without eating choucroute?

Or some civet de gibier?

Finally cheese cake. I think we can live here.
