Das essen - Sampling some local bavarian cuisine

The food has been gut thus far.

Together with our friend Ansgar, we ate at a beautiful restaurant overlooking Germany's second largest lakes. In the background were the Alps. What a view! Das ist gut!

City Mouse ordered a pumpkin soup (temporarily satisfying here recent pumpkin fetish) and I had a Bavarian Mushroom soup. Both were excellent. Very flavorful. My soup was served with a large dumpling.

For our main courses, City Mouse had a turkey dish and I had a sampling of assorted meats. We washed it all down with a local Bavarian beer (bier). Unfortunately, we had no time for dessert, b/c we had to get going...the daylight was burning away and we had yet to catch the boat out to a little island on the lake. But this resaurant (with a rather pricey bill!) was traditional Bavarian food--and well worth it!

We sampled another traditional Bavarian restaurant. The meat we ate was Braten, with Semmelknödel (a breaded dumpling), Kartoffelknödel (potato), and of course a local German beer from the local brewery (Wochinger Urtrunk). Once again, no dessert--had to rush to the train station to catch the next ride to Vienna!
