I’d written a long, long post about spending the weekend with a vegetarian family and how they’d complained about it being so difficult to be a vegetarian here. “Yeah, yeah”, I thought, and tucked into my cabbage. The computer decided it wanted to stop working and that post is now sadly/thankfully (delete as you see applicable) gone. However, as a picture is certainly worth a thousand of my words, read the list of ingredients in these Gemüsefrikadellen, currently in my fridge. Maybe they have a point.
German Word For Today: “Schweinefleisch” - Chickpeas?

That’s good…..pig meat in the vegetable frikadellen!…..but they dont actually say it’s vegetarian. But I guess it will confuse a lot of people
Haddock: Maybe I should have scanned the front of the box as well, which is decorated with a basket of vegetables and states “Gemüse-frikadellen”, no mention of meat anywhere. It was only when I ate them and thought, “Bloody hell! These taste good”. That I checked the ingredients and saw the reason for the pleasant taste.
I love it! That’s priceless. Poor unsuspecting vegetarians.
I eat everything, animal, vegetable and mineral, so I’m not really into the vegetarian/vegan scene, but I also think it’s so funny when they insist on squeezing soy protein into the shape of a sausage or a chop to make it look like meat.
LOL see, it’s all subjective……vegetables, schmegetables the Germans say!
Pork is this season’s new Carrot.
God hopefully it’s not that “left over pork” that they’re having issues with in Bayern :S
