The barman marks our cards
Mention of the bratwurst, the food here is delicious, and last Friday’s lunch at a local brewery restaurant seems to have kept us going for almost a day. New spuds (boiled or fried), big dollops of tender meat and red cabbage in a sauce. Bloody good comfort food, and not a sauerkraut in sight. One amazing thing, the barman keeps a tab of how many drinks you’ve had by marking your beer mat, one pencil stroke for each beer. Why is it that Germans don’t go to the pub with a pencil and/or eraser? Kiwis would.
