Moving here from the US has many positive aspects. I think i named them all while we celebrated our farewell. But all good things have negative aspects too. Unfortunally. Going through the grocery store is cute here, you are through in 15 minutes and you saw all isles in the store :)
I find myself searching for many things, but especially for BEEF! Yes, this red meat is very rare here and i ask myself why? Is it that the americans own the burgers? Is it that the best cows live just around G.W.B.'s ranch's corner? Is it true that germans are pork-eaters and can not handle a good, bloody steak (hmmm, just stop thinking about it and the craving will pass....).
It's not that you can not find beef here, its just very expensive, not affordable is better described! NO WAY to have beef 2-3 times a week. NO WAY!
I bought some beef the other day for stew (It was already precut, i guess germans would not really know how to handle a steak!). And while i was washing the meat i almost lost myself in thoughts about this great steaks, burgers we have enjoyed the last 8 years. Without appreciation that was.
So, you americans: Next time you rush down your preformed burger patty (what a heavenly invention is that anyway) or your medium-rare steak (let's just dont think about this Sirloin strips that sceam eat me when you remove them from the grill) , yes, next time you have this bite of soft meat and the smoky juices in your mouth, think about us. Us, eating pork, previosly frozen fish and the chicken.
And if you still plan to visit us, prepare yourself: This is the land where we eat different. Not bad different, but beef-less!
