--Italian food. Peter and Judith love it, and there are lots of good Italian restaurants because Munich is only about an hour and change from the Italian border.
--yogurt. European yogurt is the BEST (but definitely not fat-free!).
--currywurst: a sausage (kind of like a kielbasa flavor) covered in ketchup and sprinkled with curry powder.
--kasespaetzle (there should be an umlaut on the a, but I can't figure out how to do it): like macaroni and cheese, but with spaetzle instead of noodles, and topped with roasted/fried onions. SO GOOD.
--krapfen: don't call them a doughnut (we're not sure why this is a big deal), but they are pretty much like jelly doughnuts, except a little bread-ier and with better jam inside (usually apricot).
--German Mexican food, which actually was not bad at all!
--roasted chestnuts from a street stand
--the ubiquitous German soft pretzels
--gluhwein (hot spiced red wine) and gingerbread
--a really good zucchini and mustard cream soup topped with smoked salmon
--some interesting salads
--apple strudel in vanilla sauce: Oh my God. This is one of the best things I have eaten in my whole life. I could have drunk the vanilla sauce with a straw.
I swear I am going to weigh about 400 lbs. when I get back. Amie and I are already wondering when we'll have to get new pants.
