I went to the farmer's market this afternoon and bought organic blutwurst which i just ate on bread with horseradish and dill. Yes, blutwurst, or blood sausage. really. and it is good. really. Germans eat blood sausage out of a jar (basically sausage without a casing preserved in a jar instead) on bread and also sausages of it cut up into eggs. I found a recipe in Nigel's book for blood sausage and apples that i am looking forward to trying. Although that is English all over, I think it will translate well. Just so you don't worry too much, in a Korean market I also bought sushi rice, a new korean vegetable knife (the smaller version of the big chinese cleaver), korean laver that is salted and oiled and tastes so good with fresh sushi rice wrapped up in it (tomorrow's lunch), lemongrass, galangal, and cilantro. Next, I went to the spice house and bought allspice and cloves because I want to try making berebere tomorrow, which is the Ethiopian spice mixture used for making Wat: Tomorrow's dinner. Then I bought fresh japanese sweet turnips, dill, and blood sausage in a jar at the market.
Tonight's dinner, however, is all German:
-Schwarzwurzel Suppe (salsify soup) with lemon and creme fraiche (there are so many dairy products in a German grocery store- way beyond the american choice of sour cream and whipping cream)
-Brot und Butter mit schinken und blutwurst und Kaese (bread with thinly sliced cured pork, blood sausage, cheese)
-Dill und Ruebenblaetter(dill and turnip leaves to go on the bread)
-Gurke Salat (cucumber salad)
-Senf und Meerrettich (mustard and horseradish)
und Bier.
and if we still have room the rest of the lemon cake.
Guten Appetit
