When we landed in Munich it was the last day of sunshine before this huge rainstorm that brought major flood damages to Europe generally, and Germany in particular. We took advantage of it and had lunch immediately at the #1 Biergarten in town. We had Augustina larger and shared a large plate of mixed sausages, with all the trimmings, our first among many. Somehow one does not get bored with sausages here because the variety is huge, so are the tastes. What we do not understand is 'CurryWurst' which is a sausage drowned in curry paste, or better put, a thick paste with a hint of curry flavor, but by no means curry, by any definition. Served with chips, it has become quite a staple, at least in the cities. This 'wurst-extravaganza' we picked was a classic though, a testimony that 'we have arrived'. It was a tad on the salty side. Dora was in her usual unconvinced mode but it was right up my alley as I love salt, and would always pick savories over sweets. Why do we bother with a sausage that is not salty anyway, not to mention marketing synergy. Why do you think beer is consumed in such phenomenal quantities in Germany?
