A Taste of Frankfurt

So, last night we dined at the Zum Gemalten Haus.  It is a traditional Frankfurter Apfelwein tavern.  We dined on a variety of wursts and other parts of the pig including the following:




with a little Blood Sausage:




and even pig tongue:




which is not nearly as cute when prepared for eating:


Apologies if you have, by now, tossed your cookies.















I had never had pork tongue before, and was surprised to find that it tasted rather like corned beef.  If you ignored the feel of pig tastebuds rubbing against your own, you could almost pretend it WAS corned beef!  Much of the other food was also quite tasty.  The blood sausage did not have an altogether bad flavor, but the presentation was a bit questionable...  It just kind of oozed out of the sausage skin when pierced with a knife.  But, there was plenty of Apfelwein to drink, so I probably could have eaten a pig eyeball, and it would have gone down OK.

A word of warning to those who plan to come visit us....we will likely take you here for dinner.
