Lunch - Bratwurst

Traditional German lunch is fairly heart, more akin to what Americans would consider to be dinner. Here we introduced SJ to the most famous of all Germany dishes - Bratwurst. Typically, SJ is not a big meat eater. However, she really seemed to enjoy the Bratwurst.

One of the reasons Brats are so popular here is because they are so cheap. Most non-pork meats in Germany are fairly expensive. However, 6 Bratwurst can be had for 1.30 Euros ($1.70). They are typically eaten with rolls, which were also very inexpensive. One word of caution, however, German bread is very tough. I think I actually have some permanent scarring from a sandwich I had last week. The good news is that German bread never seems to go stale, although I'm not sure how you could tell if it did.
