I’ve been traveling back and forth between New York and Munich and I still haven’t written anything about food in Munich! Well, a big part of it is because I tend to go out to eat with my co-workers and it’s really obnoxious of me to whip out my camera and take pictures of everything before I eat it. It’s also not the politest thing to do in front of my Seniors- and over there, everyone is my Senior.
These are like waffle cones, but rolled up into… rolls! Genius! It’s super crunchy and makes for a great snack. Who doesn’t love a good waffle cone? They only cost .99 euros so it’s super cheap. The only problem is that my mother discovered them the first time I came back to the States and devolvered them. Now, everytime I go, I have to bring her back like 5 bags and she eats them while she watches her Chinese dramas.
GELATO! Unfortunately, I seemed to have forgotten or misplaced the picture with the name of the place, but this is near Odeonsplatz. The gelato was very reasonably priced at 1 euro per scoop. It certainly wasn’t the best gelato I’ve had, but it did help satisfy the craving. I believe I ended up with the tiramisu. Cake in gelato form = heaven in a cup or cone.
Supermarket browsing…
They’ve got the Airwaves gum that everyone in China seems to love.
and these are their chips. they’ve got the onion rings and to the left edge, you see something with Asia flavored? Don’t ask me what that means because it sure beats the hell outta me. I think I’ve tried the onion rings and one of the bbq ones. The flavors tend to be lighter than what’s available here, but the bbq chips were damn good. I steal them from my hotel lounge every night. =X
The Germans also have a love for the carbonated drinks. Here’s a selection of carbonated apple juice [think apple juice with fizz, not apple cider], orange juice, and water.
Not only Germans, but in other parts of Europe, I’ve noticed people liking the bitter melon. It’s not so much bitter as it is just not as lemony as you’d expect a lemon drink to taste. There is a slight bitter twang at the end though.
..more to come..
