A Bayer in Nu Jorg

Aaah Oktoberfest... How I love thee... Thy frosty beer and crusty Haxn are like a piece of heaven to me...

Thank god for the restaurant Zum Schneider in the east village of NYC. In my all my years that I have lived in the US, I have never found one German restaurant that actually had authentic food. And by that I mean authentic Bavarian food. But that dryspill is over. Now I can eat Obazda, Schweinebraten and Wiener Schnitzel whenever I want. Here are some pics of my last endeavor:

Drinks of the weird

When you go to a supermarket in the US, you will certainly be amazed by all the different beverages you will be able to find there. It far surpasses the selection you know in Germany. There is something for every taste and I always try to taste something new. But some drinks really are weird. And of course, I don't want to keep those from you. Drink Number 1 that I found weird:



NICLite. It basically is water with added nicotine. For all you tryin-to-quit smoking fiends. I did not try it though since I don't reallt crave the nic. I just find the idea of water with nicotine weird. But whatever floats your boat.

Drink number 2 was this:


The deal with hint is, that it is water with just a tiny bit of natural taste and no sugar. And I certainly love water. Kalter. Klares. Wasser. And I also love cucumber. So why not put them together? Great idea right? Yeah that's what I thought, too. But I was taught better. While the water did have a bit of a cucumber taste, it more so reminded me of this:



STINKBUG!!!!!

And if I do have an archnemesis on this planet, that is it. I have a very traumatic childhood experience where one ot those bugs flew into my ear and I couldn't get it out until some woman came to help me. And to this day I will never forget that smell. And tasting that water, I almost threw up on the spot. Stinkbug, you are my kryptonite. Thou shall not defeat me with your cucumber water! Revenge will be mine!!!!!!
