Food

looks like I'm going to be spending some weekends in Germany working, any foods/dishes I should be looking to eat, apart from schnitzel and wurst.
Also anywhere I can get a decent pint of cider...

which part of germany, regional variations, although currywurst, like fish and chips, is universal :)

think munich, dusseldof, berlin, and maybe one other...

Schweinshaxe and anything with spargel in

Pork knuckle if you're hungry

eisbein!

with my little ein.

I can point you to the best kebab joint in Heidelberg. I lived there briefly.
And if you're after yoghurt, Land Liebe vanilla is good!
kartoffelpuffer with applesauce to destroy your arteries.
Dampfnudel with custard.
Blackforest cake

There's so much good food in Berlin.

Cafe Butter on Pappelallee does a great brunch buffet if you're there at a weekend. Most of my other recommendations would be for dirt cheap Turkish or Arabic food, which Berlin does brilliantly.

Great vietnamese called royals and rice i think on Torstrasse in Berlin. Also Spindler in Kreuzberg for michelin level food but normal prices.

Lokal is a great restaurant in Berlin, I'll be heading back in July for a foodie fest.

I need a new cookbook, recommend your favourites please!

Nigel Slater makes me wanna poke my eyeballs out with red hot skewers...

And not in the good way... He's so fucking white bread...

Don't mind a bit of Slater, I like his Thai green curry recipe and the lemon grass chicken which is served in lettuce leaves. Deffo a gap for a Thai book, will read up on Mr Thompson thanks.

What about BBq literature, Pitt Cue & Co book?

Also had an Indian night in yesterday, Mint and Lemon Chicken curry, Sag Paneer, Goan style Dal (red lentils, turmeric, mustard/cumin seeds, tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger), Chapatis. Enough for three meals!

Don't just piss on my selection, throw a couple into the ring so that others can piss on them as well..

I get all my recipes off the internet... Easy peasy...

I thought all your recipes were handed down from Spanish father to not so Spanish son...

Anyway I like Slaters cook books, his tv shows not so much a fan of, I'm more of a triple d guy..

Hugh FW's veg book is incredible. Every recipe works and all are delicious and easy. My go to book.

Veggiematarian though, so feel free to piss on me.

I need a new cookbook, recommend your favourites please!
