A German Experience
A stop at The German Gourmet Shoppe in Redwood City provided an interesting experience. Our son Tom suggested that we make a visit to the store as he knew both of his parents would enjoy seeing the offering. My husband spent eighteen months of his military service in Southern Germany. He often recalls the wonderful food he experienced during that time. I was familiar with two of the brands which were plentiful through out the food shelves. One being Oetker and the other Maggi. My vocabulary of German words is very limited. With the preparation directions in German I can pick out words but lack the reassurance of accuracy so I will use my dictionary with these projects.
We did buy two different packages of wurst and I know that we will enjoy! We did buy a box mix for Flan and Creme Brulee, as well as seasoning for ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, and a mushroom sauce to prepare with pork.
The store did have a great variety of German made goods along with the food selections. Everything from Black Forrest clocks to beer steins and a great selection of
novelty items is available. It was indeed an interesting stop. Thank you Tom and Susan!
