Since I have so many tales to tell, I am going to break it up into sections. The first, well titled, blog is DUCK!
And yes I ate me some duck!
There's more than duck on this plate obviously and I did try it all, but to be honest, the duck and the roll were the only good things.
Here's what I got served:
- Nasty peach like jelly crap
- Pumpkin Soup
- A wheat roll
- Couscous
- Duck
The jelly was probably for the duck but it wasn't for me. First of all, I had no idea that the duck and the couscous would be served cold--like really chilled cold food. So at first it was a bit off putting. I never did learn to like that couscous - it had pieces of dried fruit or something in it. Yuck! The duck however totally grew on me. It literally tastes like the turkey from Thanksgiving that we get served to make sandwiches the next day. It was delicious! THe fat layer was odd, so I cut that off having no idea if I was supposed to eat it or not. Luckily, I conferred with others and they cut it off too. Whew! I did it right!
The pumpkin soup....well....I don't really know how to describe it. It was warm and kinda sweet, yet I could tell an effort had been made to make it not so sweet. Needless to say I tried it a couple of times, but couldn't stomach it. It was almost like eating cinnamon roll soup with snot all over it - you'd think it tastes good but the texture and snot totally ruin it.
So that was my first big adventure in food when I went to Germany. It was the first meal I got served on the plane. Whatever happened to giving someone some chips and salsa or mozzarella sticks? Do all people who fly business class really eat up this shit? If so, guess I'm just too much of a 'salt of the Earth' kinda gal. Note to self - bring snacks next time I fly, which hopefully won't be until I go to Rome in September.
Stay tuned for my next story! I even got to take home the 'things' home...hint hint!
