one of the best places we stayed at in germany was a 4 star
holiday inn inside the wall at nuremberg. of course, it was
steps from the red light district, but that was noted clearly
on the map we got at the front desk. :)
mr. patton would be thrilled if i could find
decent brotchen someplace around here.
we can make or buy the rest of your yummy list. :)
“Lunch at a eat-in is more on the order of $15 if you know where to go, more if you don’t.”
- Sound expensive. DC is of course one of the richest parts of the world, therefore it’s only natural if prices are higher. But so is Stockholm, Sweden, a city I’ve visited on numerous occasions (I’m Swedish, but not from that part).
In Stockholm, just like in many other parts of Sweden, you can find lots of eat-in places where they serve quality meals for around $10 (mostly ethnic places). On the other hand, it’s not difficult finding restaurants in Stockholm where a lunch will set you back $30. Still, if you look at ordinary wages to the cost of eating out, Stockholm is paradise compared to Oslo or Copenhagen.
Correction:
I meant ‘Still, if you look at ordinary wages compared to the cost of eating out, Stockholm is paradise compared to Oslo or Copenhagen’.
DC rich? Well, maybe. More like an oddity, as opposed to rich.
German hard rolls? I have a few recipes bookmarked.... :-)
Personally I find McDonald's to be rather pricey. If I go there, (which is very uncommon), it typically costs about $8 for a couple of burgers, fries and a drink and the food is of poor quality to boot. For cheap fattening gutfill, Jack in the Box has McDonald's beat hands down.
Don’t bother, I have tried a number, and all it proved, is that I can’t cook.
But it drives me nuts - WHY can one not buy broetchen in the US?
That seems like a silly no-brainer to me.
$8 at McD’s????
gag.
“Kids prefer McDonald for 2 min”
- Most often, eating at McDonald’s involves lining up for 10 minutes and then having to wait another 5 minutes before being able to eat the junk (out of various reasons).
I prefer a $10 serving of ‘ribollita’ in a medieval by-lane in Florence, Italy.
I want to open a german breakfast bar here in VA - Broetchen, Kaese, wuerst, Eier...
It would seem to be a slam dunk.
For the ladies, we could even offer that chocolate garbage - Wie heisst es, Leda?
I’ve heard it’s the richest ‘state’ in the US (although it’s not really a state).
Is this incorrect?
Around here, a double cheeseburger would be $1. Two for $2, a large fries for $1.69, a drink for about the same. Out for about $6 including tax. Or go get a sack full of Krystals at 66 cents a piece (discounted if you buy a box of 24.)
Between 6 and 12 dollars. I had some very good red curry at a Thai restaurant the other day for $7 and it was a nice place inside too. Famous Dave's BBQ has their two meat lunch special for around $10 and that's also good food served in a nice place. Ironically, as I stated in an earlier post, I don't think McDonald's even saves you any money. You can get a proper lunch for the same price without too much trouble.
“Reminds me of when I was a student in Tours. We had to walk across town to have luch with the French university students. It was wait in line for meagre fare while antiamericans made little balls from their bread and pelted us. We would get a sliver of omlet with a tiny sour gerkin, mound of lentils, or horsemeat. Same menu over the whole country. I lost so much weight that I soaked woolen skirts in hot water to shrink them.”
- Entertaining story, although I, on behalf of us Europeans, really wish to apologize for that kind of treatment.
Burgundy is in the center of France, the heart of the Wine Country.
There are wonderful restaurants everywhere from small little ones to Michelin three star.
French traditionsm quality of life, and lifestyle have much changed in Paris and other large cities, but they are alive and well, Dieu Merci, in many parts of France.
