Transblawg | 15. April 2012 — Here's a photo showing the story on the front of the local paper. But the really good photo of this scene is inside the paper - see the article Noch ist es dem Spargel zu kalt. I wish I'd been there to take that second photo, showing an asparagus photoshoot with numerous walk-on parts in very cold …
Transblawg | 10. Dezember 2011 — Suddenly a range of spices have become easier to find. This would have been the place to get mace for my pork pies a few weeks ago. Speculatius-Gewürz speculatius spice Lebkuchen-Gewürz Lebkuchen spice Nelken cloves Muskatblüte/Macis mace Anis anise (probably star anise) Pottasche potassium carbona…
Transblawg | 29. November 2011 — I had forgotten about these. I must have tried them and hated them when I was about ten. Some repeated BBC food programmes mentioned them and said they're a British speciality. I think it's only Opies who still make them. What is pickled is the immature walnut with all the surrounding flesh, outsid…
Transblawg | 17. November 2011 — From A Week in the Life of a SOAS student: 9-10 : Grammar 10-11 : Practical 12.30 or thereabouts : I offer my custom to the great SOAS institution/legends who are the Hare Krishna guys. They come every day with a wagon of free vegetarian curry [but seriously, give them a donation, you skinfli…

Transblawg | 6. Mai 2011 —It's that time of year agin, and these little roadside stalls are springing up so that Franconians can have a quick fix of their favourite drug. In this example it's even combined with a cigarette machine. You have to be careful when buying uncertified asparagus, though, because there is a rumour th…
Transblawg | 1. Februar 2011 —I'm a bit late for Burns Night, but I see (by accident) that there is a supplier in Germany who will supply frozen haggis: haggis.de. The haggis comes originally from MacSween of Edinburgh. The German on the site is a bit odd in places, but it seems to be the typing rather than the original content.…
Transblawg | 20. Januar 2011 —Lidl British food week apparently starts on January 27 (perhaps I should disable comments here). Some readers were keen on the cheddar. This is not really really high-class mature cheddar, but it is very pleasant nevertheless. They also have ginger nuts, which are hard ginger biscuits you may want t…
Transblawg | 5. Dezember 2010 —I remember making fun of Lidl's British Week in Germany, but can't remember actually making a recommendation. Still, I seem to have put someone's back up: Englaender sind ja bekannt, dass diese weder kochen koennen , noch von kueche etwas verstehen. Alles fuer den SCHWEINETROG Haette ich wisse…

Transblawg | 13. März 2010 —This is off topic, but it made good soup. I used a recipe from a Nestles site, I think, where the chicken is simmered in salty water for two hours, some vegetables (later discarded, so I stuck to things with flavour like onions, celeriac and parsley root) join it after one hour, and after that there…

Transblawg | 8. September 2009 —There's a cook on German TV sometimes who really irritates me talking about champions. But it seems it's a very common mistake. Champion Pfanne gets over 8,000 ghits. Here's a cookery discussion: angie1984 hat Folgendes geschrieben: die champions haben innen sowas dunkles kann man das mitessen o…
Transblawg | 3. September 2009 —Die Zeit recommends corned beef for Labskaus, although it says salt beef is traditional, minced. Fortunately the corned beef comes from a tin (in Germany you can buy an inferior kind of corned beef, pronounced cornid beef, from delicatessen counters). (Wikipedia picture of 'Hamburg-style Labskaus wi…
Transblawg | 31. Juli 2009 —Toytown Germany have been discussing German food and whether it is anything to write home about. I eat German food, sure, I live here, and I don't not enjoy it, in fact I don't think I've ever eaten much that I don't like. My favourite dish is just simple old roast pork with beer sauce and whack…
