Needless to say I ate the meat and potatoes and ****ed the asparagus out the window. Germans are odd.

Unlimited quantities of the finest Weißbier I have ever tasted so wd the pub for that though

Precisely - I did try a bite but there was nothing to taste. Everyone else was covering it in sauce but quite frankly if you are only tasting the sauce what is the point? I say everybody - the two vegans sat opposite me didn't have Spargel in the vegan option. But Vegans in Bavaria ffs. There was a conversation on the best types of vegan "milk" (oat was favourite, since you ask). They didn't appreciate me initiating a debate on whether vegans can drink human milk and if so could you market it.

Yes, I was surprised that was an option. Tend not to go for fish dishes here. Long way to the sea
