Anyone from the UK?

Same here. I am just home from a walk in it and have thrown a lovely bit of pork into the oven for din dins later. Now I am dreaming of crackling and apple sauce.

The wine is open and breathing now too.
That sounds yummy 😋
Curious…how much does a decent, but everyday bottle of wine cost in Germany these days?
 
A German friend introduced me to the Baden wines. Isn’t that the bocksbeutel region?
I reckon Aldi and Lidl stock better value stuff than most supermarkets over here. Booths excepted.
 
While we’re on German cuisine, and everyone else is awol, what do you call the spiced lard stuff they serve with bread as an appetiser in the Heidelberg area? Crazily addictive!
 
Casting pearls before swine.





is not an appropriate phrase in this particular case.

The bocksbeutel is a round but flattish bottle typically used for wines grown in the Franken area of northern Bavaria. Baden is west of Bavaria 🌹

I love going to Aldi for wine 😂😂

Thanks! Maybe we’ve got a new theme on here to supplement the bins.. wine bottle shapes ! On second thoughts… maybe not

I’m not sure.

They add finely chopped apple and onion to lard and season with salt and pepper and spread that on bread here.

Is that what you mean? I’ve never seen it as an appetizer though.

It was a traditional hotel near Oestringen. Before you ordered they brought it with fresh bread
 
Was it called Schmalzbrot? I used to eat it as a student to line my stomach before a night on the beer 😂😂
That’s it! I remember now!
When I was a student in Leeds, there was a pub that had free bread and dripping on the bar. Heavily salted of course to keep the ale flowing.
