I went to a ‘steakhouse’ in Germany and whatever they were serving was unrecognizable to me...............
When I was living in Germany in the early 1970s, the place to go for the closest thing to an American-style steak was an Argentine restaurant. If you ordered steak at a German restaurant, it would always come smothered in a sauce.
You could also get pretty good fried chicken at Wienerwald (Vienna forest), a chain of indoor-dining restaurants. However, they fried the whole chicken, not individual pieces as they do here.
“Is that beef?”....”Neigh.”
