Pat- Apfelsaft gespritztt sounds like apfelschorle in germany… I can’t get enough of the stuff. And I would kill for decent queso!

Urrgh, spicy….Mexican….essen, err food. What I wouldn’t give to discover a regular nachos fix here in Vienna. And breakfast tacos. And chile con queso……..But one great thing that the Austrians do is apfelsaft gespritzt. A tall cold delicious glass of apple juice with bubble water. Man, that could be a hit back in the states, at everything from raves to AA meetings. But no.
I found you thru Cowbell. Nice to read your voice!

Yes, spicy (flavorful) foods are hard to find. I’ve had fantastic Ethiopian food but some of the dishes were still mild compared to the States. I just compensate by using cayenne pepper at home.

Wow, this seriously could have been my list from Germany Years, down to the last item! I lived there (Heidelberg, Pirmasens, Darmstadt) for 6 years, then in Hungary (Kaposvar) for 6 more. Now in the Pacific Northwest, but man do I miss it. Even the “annoying” things, now. Thanks for the memory jolt.

Oh, yes, all good points.
Furth is celebrating its 1,000th birthday this year. I’m unable to really comprehend what that means, but doesn’t it sound impressive?
