Today, in an effort to part from my Back Factory habits, I decided to attempt a purchase from the Fleischerei--a meat store. I saw on the menu, Bratwurst--1.50 euro. I had contemplated this option previously. Catty-cornered between the Back Factory and the Fleischerei, I chose to make my steps towards bratwurst. Once in the store, I made my request: Ich mochte ein bratwurst, bitte! The clerk grabbed one and rang it up as 0.93 euro. I sensed something was wrong by this point. She gave me a cold piece of bratwurst, although I was expecting a warm one wrapped in a brotchen. I was uncertain about whether or not it was edible or required heating. I did not have the heart to ask the clerk what to do--mostly, I did not have the language to ask in the moment, and I walked out, defeated. I did not consume the bratwurst because as it turns out I'm supposed to cook it first. It now sits in my fridge, wondering if I will ever make an effort to stay in the hotel for a meal to boil it sometime.
In the evening, I went with David to grab some ice cream. I was split on what to get--naturally, I am indecisive when confronted with so many enticing/ent(eis)ing ice cream flavors. In the heat of the moment, I decided: ich mochte ein kleine kugel... malaga bitte! What's malaga, I wondered to myself. It turned out to be very sweet and delicious... and alcoholic tasting
I just looked it up. Apparently malaga is a wine from Spain. I just had wine flavored ice cream, and I never have wine.
You tricked me, Germany. How dare you.
Hehe, this post made me laugh! :) Oh the joys of food in another country!
