10 days into my work trip here in Germany, and my first big culinary misinterpretation…
The menu read someting like ‘Gegrilltes Haxe mit Semmelknödel und Sauerkraut’
I thought I was getting grilled fish.
Instead I got an enormous (ENORMOUS) grilled pork shank. Imagine my surprise when it came out of the kitchen…
Thankfully, it was delicious, even though unexpected. :)
