Hope You Are Well

TRZESNIEWSKI
 
- GESUNDHEIT!
 
Pic taken 1997 in Vienna, Austria, where I was with fellow students and professor for studying their architecture.
Just found it when searching for something else. 
 
I admit, I´ve never been inside, but looked it up, the "the unspeakably good rolls" are still available here! The slogan on their site is now  "the boundlessly good rolls".
Trzesniewski  is really hard for the German/Austrian tongue to say, so you need some tries - and that sounds as if you start and then really do sneeze. To which, also in Austria, you get a Gesundheit as in "God bless".
 
They even offer a "Buns consultant". Click here and drool! Truffle-egg with ham is just one that sounds ... YUM!
 
I get nothing for writing this, I just share cause the name is so funny, and the sign, of course. But if you are there and try, please let me know if it really was that yummy.
You can also drool over an old blogpost here
Darn, I am hungry now! 
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2.

 ... Gesundheit, Henry! Do cats sneeze? I think so?
Haha, do you know that? When someone says "Gesundheit" already whilst you are at it... the sneezer gets stuck.
And the real mean, huge ones go with HAAAA... tscho!
Or when you have to sneeze driving the car and this comes in a tricky driving-situation... WOAH. 

Bun? Breadroll, anyone?

:-) Yes, they want people to laugh! I think they used their name really well!

River said...

Yes, cats do sneeze.
Words like Trzesniewski are what makes it hard to play scrabble with Germans.

Iris Flavia said...

Gesundheit! 😉 Wonder how it sounds like, must google later!
I think Trzesniewski must be rather Polish or such.

Sometime we say Gasundheit when we sneeze. What does it actually mean? Happy mid-week to you. hugs-Erika

Granny Sue said...

Sneezing like crazy here in the West Virginia hills today! I sure would love to try some of those buns.

CJ Kennedy said...

Fun post! We say God Bless Your or Gesundheit. And cats sneeze.

Iris Flavia said...

Creative Publish, Strasbourg must be nice. Blogger won´t let me comment on your blog.

Erika, you say that without knowing?! 🤣
Bummer. It actually is "health" and we mean by that we wish you health, but are too lazy for a whole sentence!

____

Granny Sue, I´m sorry, sneezing is so annoying!
We have wooden floor and tiles, so I actually have a sneeze-attack every day.
Yes, glad that bun-place is so far away - would be too tempting!

CJ, do you then say Gesundheit to your cat? I really must google for that sound, as I have no cat, sadly...

RedPat said...

Our cat used to sneeze. Dogs do a really big sneeze!

magiceye said...

I would not want to be in front of Henry when he completes the sneeze! Gesundheit!

Divers and Sundry said...

Language is fun, and it's fun to see people recognize that :)

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, really?! We had a German Shepherd (no surprise) - I never heard her sneezing.

magiceye, I´d dive to safety, too!

Divers and Sundry, very true :-)

I don't normally hear German spoken in Hawaii. But, those words you mention look so hard to pronounce. My Uncle George was married to a German woman from Berlin. They had two children and later divorced, because she had an affair with a Persian man. Helga died a number of years ago of Alzheimer's in California. Her son is my cousin, half Korean, half German. He took care of his mother until her death. His sister committed suicide at age 17. Such a sad family, really.

Our cats used to sneeze and our dogs too. My dad, when he sneezed, it would scare us because it was quiet in the room until his loud sneeze happened. :)

Now Thats Funny And Love The Henry Photo

OxoxoxO

Iris Flavia said...

gigi, that´s not German, that´s rather Polish or such.
Very sad family history indeed... 17... that´s when the fun should start.

____

Bill, yes, sneezing can get terribly loud! When Ingo starts...

Padre, I wanted to make you at least grin with this - Henry says... haaa-- aaaa... thank you! OxoxoxO

I think all mammals sneeze.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Iris Flavia said...

And why not! We´re all one.
