round here, are ya? Last week I made my yearly trip to Oktoberfest, I say yearly because it has been 2 years in a row now (and it sounds cool to say I make a yearly trip to Oktoberfest). For the most part it was the same wonderful time as it was last year- beer, partying, meeting new people, etc. You will see the one thing that I did not mention was food. The reason is because I had another not so good experience with the food here. First, Oktoberfest is in Bavaria which treats itself like it’s own separate country compared to the rest of Germany. Many people compare it to those from Texas and how every Texan thinks they’re better than the rest of the US. One of the many things that are different there though is the language, which is very bad for someone that doesn’t speak the language very well to begin with (read:me) So when I didn’t see anything on the menu that I recognized I went with blah blah and rice. The blah blah ended up being Chicken (great, right?) the problem is that it was Chicken LIVERS!. I am always up for trying a new food, but having a whole plate of them–not so much.
Anyways now I know one plate to stay away from when eating out here.
