It’s a false story for the most part.
What came up was a big discussion for gov’t agency cafe operations (in the big buildings, educational facilities, etc)...where some (not all or such) came to suggest a removal of pork from the daily menu.
These operations tend to offer an entire plate lunch for 6 Euro ($7) and it’s a pretty good deal if you happen to be around some court house or university operation. The claim was less meat was better for you, and because of some religious preferences....it was a better deal.
I think....after six months, and less customer usage, then the cafe operations will go back to pork.
I should note...it’s a growing trend for vegans in Germany, and they continually try to sell their no-meat message (even on state-run TV).
Incredible!
I remember this great little restaurant in Bamberg that served the best Saurbraten mit Kartoffelklossen (sp?) und Rot Kohl.
I enjoy your essays, thanks.
