He writes, "Homemade Pitas three times a day, fresh cheeses with more flavor than ours, fresh lamb cut to order etc. Small but packed. It is off Sycamore View on Memphis Arlington road."Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592157819188364751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19063438.post-1160961732902122632006-10-15T20:22:00.000-05:002006-10-15T20:22:00.000-05:00I like those thin waffer cookies.

When I was stationed in Germany, we'd always have a girl's night out once a week. We'd walk a few blocks to a German place (of course) and just order whatever looked good. That's where I tried my first taste of calimi (not sure if that's spelled right) - aka - octopus. Yes, I realize that octopus isn't exactly a German food, but still it was served in a German place.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, many Americans didn't care for the chocolate in Germany as it wasn't as sweet as that in the states. I remember buying kinder eggs and enjoying the taste of the less sweeter chocolate. Kids would enjoy them as the eggs were hollow and contained tiny mystery prizes.<BR/><BR/>Here's to good food that we've learned to appreciate by being in other countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
