Sorry, rambling on a bit, as is my wont. Incidentally, for the British GLAM veterans, and speaking of Herbert Grönemeyer: He did a song called "Currywurst!"  lol

When I was a student I used to eat my curry wurst in Grönemeyer‘s favorites restaurant :)

Was looking very much forward to the Das Boot series and maybe will have a look at it for the fun, but from what I read here it would have been better if they had given it another name.

Just to explain, some of the British LAFers who went to Germany for a meet-up in 2010 developed a taste for, and something of an obsession about Currywurst. It became quite the "thing" for a short while.  :)

Give me a call, when you make the next currywurstventure! I’m a well known currywurstologist in the German lands and have studied many great places in the east and west where it is sold!

Sadly i don’t live in Berlin anymore, dear Captain, having found a job near my wife finally. I now reside in the little British kingdom of Hanover (where I work as a museum curator), but maybe we can also plan a trip to Berlin next year. My wife really misses the big city...and at the moment we are very much bound to our home since our daughter was born this January.

Well that’s nice :)
I think you’ll find we are the little British kingdom of Hanover on this side of the North Sea... 300 years a proud German monarchy...  lol

Yes, and my current home only broke off, when Victoria became queen...that was only possible in the British part. Really crazy to think about how different European history might have been if northwestern Germany hadn’t joined the Prussians...maybe our little wargaming hobby wouldn’t have its spiritual centre in Nottingham, but on the continent? ??? lol

If that is true you have to travel to Bavaria to try 180cm of Currywurst laid out in Brezel-shape and served with two mountains of French fries on a wooden plank in the Gasthaus Alpenrose in Eisenärzt near Ruhpolding. You won't talk about any other afterwards...  :D

PS: Don't forget to order "ATOMIC HOT" sauce.

Lol...180cm of Currywurst? I must say I’m more of a puritan when it comes to currywurst, but maybe that’s something we should try as a LAF expedition.

You should be four male gamers or up to six persons to manage the consumption, I admit. At least if you want to eat all of the chips too.

Godammit. I was in Salzburg and Berchtesgaden in October. If only I’d known, I could have paid a visit. Ruhpolding is only just up the road...  >:D
