We lived in Germany for a few years, twice. German food is quite different to ours but we both enjoyed eating quite a lot (but not all) of it. Our all time favourite was Kassler, smoked pork. It could be bought as a joint for cooking and eating hot - gorgeous - or as cold slices. Imagine our delight when I came across a new to us internet site The Sausage Man, that sells such goodies:
We got a 10 pack of mini special bratwurst (pork spicy sausages), a pack of two frikadellen (sort of a pork burger). Both are already cooked ready to reheat. Two packs of German bacon, a small joint of Kassler, two packs of sliced potatoes, bacon and onions, cooked ready to reheat. Finally, two bottles of sauce, curry and schaschlik (pikant sauce) and a bottle of Senf, a medium heat mustard.
We ordered Thursday afternoon, they came late morning today. Fully insulated and with ice packs on board. Some have gone into the fridge, others the freezers.
We know of another company which if we order items from, will be mentioned on here. Sometimes, you just have to treat yourself, especially this year!
That sounds lovely, I do buy the Bratwurst from Lidl as I love their spicy-ness. I agree we do have to have a treat now and again and yes we definitely deserve one this year.
ReplyDeleteThat’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it:)
DeleteLidl or Aldi sell nearly all of that, but then they are German aren't they? I like the frikadellen, we get them sometimes.
ReplyDeleteFrikadellen and bratwurst I’ve seen but not the rest.
ReplyDeleteWe've had the packs of sliced potato bacon & onions, and a smoked pork joint from one or the other....oh and German salami and ham. Perhaps they do different things in different areas.
DeleteWe can get the potatoes bacon thing, grated, once a year so buy loads then. Cold sliced kassler but cooked joints here are from Poland. Bavarian ham and salami. I think supplies might be regional by the look of it.
DeleteOh gosh yes, little treats are so necessary this year. It's nice to find something that you have really been missing isn't it. Aren't deliveries coming so quickly at the moment!!
ReplyDeleteLuckily, being a food parcel, it had to be delivered within 24 hours.
