Peas In Deutschland

P has moved to Germany! This is a place to share with loved ones the pleasures, frustrations, and photographs of my adventures, leavened by talk of meals eaten and drinks drunk.

Ger-Mex

I so miss Mexican-ish food! Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, Mexican, Guatemalan - I miss them all. So, for my birthday dinner, I requested we go to a restaurant rather ominously named: das Tacos.

That's cheez whiz on the nachos.

(At least the menu said precisely which carcinogens our dishes contained:
Farbstoff=artificial colors, Konserviergunsstoff=preservatives, etc.)

Is yhat Brian making 'the fist of death' (like in Dilbert) in the photo? Check out his clenched fist!
Cheezwhiz on Nachos? That is almost as bad as Amul cheese in Macaroni and cheese (remember P, in Sarathy's house)
You poor kids! We have to take you to Huarache Azteca, Viva Mexico and Casa Maya and a few other good Mexican restaurants when you are here.
Love,
M

good call! p says i "tend to make fists", which i grudgingly guess is true but weird -- maybe i have a lot of pent-up anger (from living with p? heh). i was mostly just hamming it up for the camera, though. and paula, you don't really need to worry about us -- there's actually loads of great food around here, it's just that these germans do not seem to be a beany people, hence the lack of good mexican food. not to say we're turning down any care packages, though.

Interesting menu. Does the menu note which items have the artificial coloring, preservatives, etc?

If it were a Bangkok restaurant you would have to write "probably the best tacos in Germany" on the menu.

Yup, Sudi, there were little numbers beside each menu item indicating the additives they contained. Needless to say, the nachos contained nearly all of them.

i meant to write "good cheesenbeanz food" but i forgot. i certainly can't imagine an entire city devoid of good restaurants! yikes.

An entire city (place) devoid of good restaurants?? That would be Orange County.
