Rachel and I are currently in Germany, the land of wurst (sausages), sauerkraut and beer. While Germans like sausages and don't have particular devotion to sauerkraut that I have seen, they really have a strong relationship to beer, the same way Italians have a relationship to pasta and Brits to boiling or broiling everything to death. As an example, at the airport there is a sign explaining what is legal to bring into the country. Liquor with alcohol content over 22% - 1 liter (sounds reasonable). Spirits such as wine and sake – 2 liters (maybe a little light but generally reasonable). Beer – based on previous two, the safe assumption is that 4 or 5 litters would be allowed. Nope. You can legally bring 16 liters into the country. 4 gallons! On flights to Germany, I now expect to see people carrying pony kegs with them.
Rachel raved about white asparagus soup she had for lunch. While it was probably tasty, I think it was the fact she was starving that made it taste so good. Which brings me to the lesson of the day: if you want Rachel to like your food, make sure she doesn't eat 12 hours before.

Ed. Note: I really f-ing loved that soup.
MGB note: I really disapprove of the use of profanity.
