Walking is one of the most amazing physical activities possible for a number of reasons. It is something that almost all of us can do and it is hugely beneficial to the body and mind. Walking has no apparent negatives and it allows us to engage with the people, animals, and the natural world all around us. Given holidays also feature pretty highly on most people’s lists of favourite things, combining the two would seem to be as sure a recipe for success as a cake with icing on top.
Lauren and I are pretty adventurous when it comes to food and one of our favorite ways to experience other cultures is through their different cuisines. When our pals over at The Expat Hub asked us to share a guest post with recipes for Germany’s popular foods, it was a no brainer! Enjoy and happy cooking!
Often people think that sauerkraut, frankfurters and beer are the extent of German cuisine, but there’s so much more to this nation’s rich food culture. Here are recipes to some of Germany’s most popular treats!
Note from Kenin: When we went to LA to visit my brother, one of the great places we checked out was Villain’s Tavern in the LA Arts District. Since Brant is both a resident of LA and an aficionado of bars and cocktails plus writes the whyihateeverything blog we opted to have him guest post a review.
For all the sleek sophistication of the new mixology movement, let’s face it, half of the colorful cocktails out there can taste a bit trashy. The lesson here is that just because you can mix a couple liquors with juices and herbs doesn’t always mean you should. Villain’s Tavern, however, knows exactly how to concoct anachronistic drinks without turning the stomach, serving a variety of flavorful combinations that are enjoyable to imbibe and interesting on the palette at the same time.
