@Phoenix_Rising I wonder if they count peas because they enjoy counting peas like an obsession or is it a job to count the peas and if it is a job wtf!

@Bunniekins Ahhhhhh the wonder of a different culture. I think a bit of googling will reveal that pea counting is a literal translation of the word, but it actually means someone who is very pedantic and overly obsessed with details...which, come to think of it, pretty much describes me.

@Bubbles3 Way to go in facing your fear!!!!! I didn't know pretzels were from Germany either until I googled German foods tonight.

@Queenie and @Catcakes - here they are. Very fetching aren't they?

Yes it's funny how those 60 year old ladies at the social lunch managed to get me to do that Chicken Dance @Phoenix_Rising They even insisted that I sing some songs with them, otherwise they wouldn't leave me alone...

I'm sure they would have loved some yodelling too.

I think I got out of it lightly - because they jokingly threatened to make me watch them do a pole-dance....

They just wanted to see the shocked look on my face - they thought that was hilarious...

The car is repairable, it's just such a drama to organise.

I can't get to work without it (too far), so will have to hire a car whilst repairs are done.

@Adge, the Germans do have a sausage that's called Currywurst. It's apparently a Bratwurst sausage served with a sauce that's a mixture of ketchup, curry powder and Worcestershire sauce. It's a bit of a big thing there- there's even a Currywurst museum.

If you want a vegetarian version, you could use a soy based sausage- or failing that, a roasted whole carrot?

@Queenie Did someone say lederhosen? Do we really want to encourage this look?

@Adgewrote:

Do they have any Curried dishes in Germany?

I want some curry...

Particularly Thai Green Curry, but that's not German...

@Adge Never fear, I found this little Thai restaurant we can drop into...cos that's what you do when you go to Germany...hunt out the Thai restaurant.
