I was at Erlangen (straight East of you & just North of Nurnberg) for 1 1/2 years; '66 - '68. There was a ridge line North of town where farmers grew strawberries and made strawberry wine for local consumption. At the Western end of the ridge sat a restaurant with open patio seating looking over the town. It was a favorite stop on Sundays for their fantastic pastries which, of course, went down quite well with the wine. Another restaurant in town had the best wiener schnitzel, and a second had the greatest gansbraten (roast goose) I've ever had. Boy, what food!
I ate at a great german place in Anaheim a few weeks ago called Jaegerhaus - they have goose, duck, elk, venison, VEAL, etc, on the menu. Everything cooked from scratch. Superb!
I spent a lot of time in Grafenwohr. There was a great little Italian restuarant that made the best calzones. That's where I "discovered" dunkle weizen.
I did a project in Furth also. That is fairly close to Erlangen. I remember the canal that went over the road. I only got GI food their.
Nuremburg had this great, and hard to find Chinese Restuarant. The best aged crispy duck I've ever eaten...
Maybe that's what my dress greens got tight.... LOL
