I have a hangover. I bought these little single slices of spam in a CVS on a trip to the US recently. You also need to get Pam imported from the states as you can’t buy it here. There were also frozen hashbrown triangles baking in the oven at the time of this photo, and a slice of sourdough bread in the toaster.

    So you’re a world traveler, eh? You must have seen plenty of interesting food & cultural items.

    I haven’t been back to Europe since… shit, it’s been over 30yrs, now. :S

        Huh, I’ve only been to Österreich, and only briefly at that. (had some great Viennese Schnitzel while there as a teen, would not repeat nowadays as someone who respects my fellow animals)

        So… what do you like about N. German cuisine, if you don’t mind my asking?

          so its a lot of pork and potatoes and gravy… red cabbage (shredded, cooked forever, seasoned with butter etc). like the best meat and potatoes dishes ive ever had. itd be lost on you as a vegetarian id say. good on you, I try to reduce meat intake a bit. not terribly successfully

            I’m mainly vegetarian, but I like meat here and there, at least as my excuse for still eating meat, getting complete proteins and all, yadayada.

            Over here, I do love cabbage & potats, and curried gravy. I don’t usually slow-cook my food, but you are seriously making a case of my reconsidering my cooking life. :S
