Stuttgart, Germany

stuttgart. street food?

as mentioned in an earlier post, i was told doner kebabs in german was an experience not to be missed. in stuttgart, i had a lahmacun. i was under the impression that it was just a normal wrap until answers.com told me otherwise. globablly-put, the lahmacun is turkish pizza where the dough is first covered with spiced lamb and later stuff-filled with vegetables. though this lahmacun was lamb-stinged, i unexpectedly enjoyed the taste of fresh crisp vegetables.

again, thanks to answers.com, i have found a worthy explaination of the currywurst for you my dear readers. the currywurst is a typical german street food.. the grilled pork sausage is cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with ketchup and generous amounts of curry powder.. and served with my preferred chunky pomme frites (fries)

apparently rumour has it that this used to be former german chancellor, gerhard schroeder favourite food.. now i am no expert on german politics nor mr schroeder's credantials but that guy knows his grub. the currywurst was so delicious, only the small toothpick that i had prevented me from finishing it in half the time.

oh greasy days! i also tried this prawn snack from nordsee in stuttgart. breadcrumed and deepfried prawns with a lavious tar tar dip.. i didn't even bother with the toothpicks after my first prawn.. beliving in the heightened sense of pleasure when you eat with your fingers.. haha

nordsee is a mcdonalds-like chain in germany and it specialises in seafood. now why don't they have this in singapore?! at least, seafood is healthy, no?
