I remember trying Herring at a cafe in Jena. My friend said it was a pretty traditional Thuringia fish/meal ... was .. not that great. Kinda bland yet tolerable. I dated a girl who really liked that raw pork sandwich .. Gehacktes Brotien? Is that right? It was okay. It doesn't really taste like anything though and I hated the raw pork getting stuck in my teeth.

Chicken Schnitzel is nice, but it's pretty much Australian Chicken Parma without the sauce.

Also I wasn't a big "bread for breakfast" person back then and the only bacon I could find was the thin stuff at Aldi or the overpriced/over-salted stuff at the butcher.

oh but I did like those big blocks of cheese you put on the grill. I think it's just a large chunk of Halloumi? I assume that's what it was because I don't know of any other cheese that grills that way.
