No tome, just random bits. (We're in Germany for a few days!)
A dodgy shot of the Christmas markets that I can't shut up about on Twitter:
A dodgy shot of the Christmas markets that I can't shut up about on Twitter:
The markets weave in and out of alleys and wide spaces. They're packed out, & everyone is in thick coats that are constantly brushing others, like bubbles. Every 5th shop is actually selling fatty surprises... strange deep fried potato concoctions, steaks roasting on shields hung from the ceiling and rotating over an open fire, German donuts, SAUSAGES of every type and size, and so on.
Everyone is German - almost no tourists. Hilarious to see this HUGE sausage sandwiched in a tiny little bun that is nothing more than a handle.
Then I saw someone eating this:
Three little sausages, no bread at all. YES PLEASE!
Washed down with hot German wine.
