Possibly Apocryphal Story About Helmut Kohl
A couple we met while apartment-hunting told us that Helmut Kohl, former German chancellor, has the water you see pictured at left bottled and shipped to his home in Bavaria, 350 miles away. Apparently he so loved the tap water when serving office in Bonn that he couldn't do without it once he left, and it's still all he drinks. The water here is indeed quite good, but of course everyone buys bottled water anyway, alas.p.s. On an unrelated note, Kohl means cabbage, remember?

I enjoy learning all of these German food words through your blogspot! The one word I recall from my trip to Heidelberg years ago is "apfelsaftschorle." I'd probably pay extra to have bottles of it shipped to me.
