The food in Germany was amazing, even before we made it to Germany! |
| Chili con carne |
Dad and I left Austria mid-morning, so we opted for lunch on the train. The chili con carne was delicious! Beans, corn, Argentine beef...just the perfect amount of spiciness. And the chocolate cake and coffee for dessert?? We ordered 2 since we figured they'd be smaller servings - dad had to help finish mine after he finished his!

For dinner, dad and I went to the Haxenhaus, which is well-known (especially amongst the pilots) for its haxe. Dad ordered the haxe, which is a pork knuckle that's been baked til crispy.

It was perfectly crispy, salty, and did I mention HUGE?? I ordered the Sauerbraten, a traditional German dish that both dad and I wanted to try. It's a kind of pickley-marinated meat fixed in traditional Rhine-style served with a slightly sweet berry sauce and red cabbage kraut.

We stuffed our faces at Haxenhaus, then took a short break to walk along the Rhine and let our food digest. Then we stopped at an ice cream shop on the way back to the hotel for delicious German ice cream!

Definitely noteworthy, and definitely worth a repeat!
