There Is No XI-th Commandment (But A Farmers)
Friday I asked Ingo to come up with a route for a power walk.
Our doc "instructed" Ingo - through me - to walk with me every day.
Now I understand that working 8 hours in 29C+ can be really tiring, so I let go of it. But Friday was cooler and Ingo is always home early.
Ingo needed something from the hardware store, it was late and hence we wanted to have a pizza at XI. Gebot nearby at Roggenmühle.
But... That restaurant is no more - their Pizza was great, maybe their choice of beer, König Pilsener (according to their waiter comes out of the tap stale already) was the reason for closure?
Instead the place is called Farmers Braunschweig and they have craft beer, so... no loss (we thought).
Haha, have a look at their website - all Germans are heavily tattooed and have a crazy look when drinking beer! (you might need to click through the pics)
It´s made a fun place for sure!
The menu is a sheet of paper printed in a way that if you read and hold it up the other side is upside down - sadly no pic as they take it away once you´ve chosen and I didn´t dare to take a pic of the family later. Laws, right?
Fun idea it is!
Also this name for a vegetarian burger:
The pizza-names (haha, clever how I got out of this one, right? In German they fight over plural: Is it "Pizzas" or "Pizzen"), the names are funny, too:
Not all names have a meaning to me, but Wyatt Earp certainly does thanks to Star Trek´s Spectre of the Gun (one of my favs) :-)
After ordering we got this:
Sadly sweet - out of politeness I had some, though. Big failure!
Tell me: Could you eat this huge thing by yourself???
It wasn´t as yummy as the place before them offered, either... and I was more than just full, gah, stupid popcorn!
Without problems we were allowed to share.
There are restaurants that have meals like: kids, normal, retirees and they won´t allow to share a normal one nor give either of us the retiree (or kids)-meal.
I think times are a changing with the next generation, thankfully!
How about in your place?
I won´t overdo this, so pics from their place follow in another post.
Yes, we eat. Don´t you, too ;-)
My goodness, seems like I blog about food all the time lately!

I know a few couples, and I'm sure there are many more, who share meals when they go out.. even P and I do it sometimes ☺ most places don't mind at all. I absolutely know I couldn't eat all that pizza 😱
Here it seems to be only the two of us. It´s rather going direction "all you can eat" and "XXXL"...
Seems like Germany becomes the new America, foodwise!
It is nice to share things between two...
Pizza looks big for me to eat it:)
Yes, we actually always share :-)
We'll often get a pizza like that and take home the other half. If you heat it up in a skillet the next day with the lid on, the crust gets crunchy and the cheese nice and melting again (better than the microwave!). I could recognize all the names on the menu but one!
Now THAT is a great idea/tip, thank you!
Is skillet different to a normal pan?
