barry + breakfast + deutschland!


(it has fruit in it so it must be healthy, right?!)



guten tag!

breakfasts were so varied in germany, that i've broken this down into 2 posts. today, we're looking at a traditional bavarian brunch, with some cake thrown in for good measure. perhaps you'll be inspired for your own sunday get-together? it's easy enough to head down whyte, pick up some weisswurst, weissbier and have a family wurst showdown. ;)


i tried to tie this in with edmonton dining week menus, but the closest germanic influence i found was cafe lacombe doing a saskatoon berry strudel for their dessert. really? come on guys.


(how is it that almost one year later i can still tell you that here we have an egg nog, bavarian fruit bombe, austrian sachetorte, champagne and spanish vanilla selection?)

(for anyone headed over to bavaria, make a special stop in freising to naschwerk for some truly awesome cake.)





(apparently one way to eat weisswurst is to suck the meat out of the casing. oddly enough, none of the guys wanted to demonstrate this.)

also, please note the BASKET of pretzels. one basket is not enough.





(this is meatloaf. i don't even know what to say to that.)

  1. I once had breakfast in Germany which consisted of alternate layers of feuillette pastry and whipped cream; the tower was over 6 inches tall.

    Great photos - they make me hungry.

  2. I love having ridiculously sweet breakfasts when on holidays. In Slovenia I had a giant bowl of hot chocolate with ice cream in the middle. They seemed to consider it okay - who was I to argue?
