Welcome everybody in Vancouvers' German Beer Festival House!

Sit down and take a beer, a brezn', a thüringer wurst or a weisswurst...

I took german classes with a friend who had live in Germany. Bless her heart, I was a very lousy student. I did learn how to sing some awesome pre-school songs. Like singing the German Alphabet to the tune of Frère Jacques (like, this one here: )

Still, I have nothing but fond memories of the germans I've met. Really cool people! So, as Rob said, Don't mind if I do! =]

... then we will start our entertainment programme with somthing completely different:



This is a famous carnival song (1948) from Cologne before the Federal Republic of Germany was founded - the title "Wir sind die Eingeborenen von Trizonesien" means literally translated: "We are the natives of Trizonesia" - the Federal Republic of Germany was founded one year later out of the three occupation zones of the USA, UK and France - therewith: Three Zones

In that year German athletes participated at an international sport event and due the FR of Germany hadn't been founded this song was played instead of a German national anthem!!

Great choice, and this prevents me from ranting that we were so Bavarian-themed at the beginning. ;)

And to bring in some Rhenish flavour also in terms of food and drink:

Kölsch, the local beer of Cologne, and a "Halve Hahn" (literally: "half a chicken", but in fact, it's a rye roll with a slice of cheese, sometimes served with sliced onions -- as in this case). I rather not post a picture of Flönz, the local blood sausage. ;) But guess what -- the worldwide popular Gummi bears were invented in the Rhineland. Or to be more precisely, in Bonn, West Germany's former capital.

But of course, we could as well offer Hamburg Labskaus or Westphalian Pfefferpotthast -- right, Martin and Goethe? ;)

yummy - a "Halber Hahn" und a "Kölsch"!!!

I do love Labskaus, but I think Roland wasn't really into it when he tried it here in Hamburg - I suppose we should serve another famous Hamburg dish: Birnen, Bohnen und Speck (Pears, Beans and Bacon)

Posted Image

I suppose you will think now, that is a strange combination, but it is just fantastic the sweat of the pears in combinations with the green beans and the bacon is really delicious!!!
