I've been to Germany this weekend and had dinner at La Vie in Osnabruck, where the chef has 2 Michelin stars and has just won the German Chef of the year award. What a great culinary experience! We had the 7 course dinner, but got about a dozen little fantastic courses in between (3 even before the first course!) We were eating from 7.30 till midnight. All I had to drink was one glass of champagne as an aperitif and I got well pissed on it, then got a hangover after about an hour and they had to bring me a paracetamol ;D ;D ;D My daughter is still recovering: she, like all the others, did the wine arrangement and got a different wine with each course, plus the champagne and the liqueur. Poor little sod. . . I'm glad I didn't have to pay the bill: even a bottle of water cost 9 euros.

I will if you like, yoda: got a signed copy from the chef. I'm going to frame it and hang it in my kitchen. ;D

I also visited a Russian supermarket, which was interesting from both a culinary point of view and a sociological one: beautiful whole carps, eyes gleaming with freshness, whole fresh Norwegian salmon, 7 euros a kilo, unbelievable. Carpark full of Mercedes and customers who looked as if something catastrophic had happened to their gene pool several generations back.
Seems that Osnabruck has a huge colony of Russians who got in via some liberal piece of legislation: their ancestors were somehow considered technically Germans and they were given the right to "return" to the fatherland a while back. The net contribution to the Osnabruck community, I was informed, was a new phenomenon: street robberies and muggings have now become part and parcel of Osnabruck life, when they were unheard of just a few years ago.

Toby comments.:- I believe they call them Volksdeutsche, I remember back in the late 1980's they started to trickle into West Germany and were as poor as rats. Of course the Germans threw money and housing at them but these descendants of the Teutonic Knights, (ha Ha), are more gypsy than anything else.
I met a German guy whose brother was attacked in Osnabruck and these German / Russians cut his little finger off as a trophy.
Of course, the German government never consulted the German people about importing these cuckoos, just as the British people were never consulted about all the immigrants who were encouraged to come to Britain.
