Experiment

So you know how I've been saying that it has been fun experimenting with food. There is something on the menu we can't translate, so we decide to try it. Well I think I'm all done with that.
Today we were in the square downtown, we had ordered zwei grosse pils and Tara had decided that she wanted to go over to the fountain. So Nate said, here this has rings of onion and apple, lets try it. Usually I would decide on my main by the accompanying (sp?) sauce or veggies, so I say, SURE! and run off to the fountain. Then Tara's noodle soup comes and she actually eats the meatballs as well as the noodles, so we are off to a great start. Our food comes and mine looks great, it has mashed potates that were quite good and the thin cut sauted/grilled? onions and the baked ring of apple was perfect. My first thought when I tasted the meat was, 'oh what a delicious sauce' then I chewed a couple of times and just tasted coagulated blood...I was eating liver :( We had a laugh, Nate even tried it b/c of the sauce, and I managed to eat maybe 15 bites, I did not want them to think that I was wasteful or that I had no idea what I was ordering. When a third waitstaff came out just to survey the three tables that had people at them we decided that he might be the cook/chef and was trying to see who was crazy enough to order the liver :) Now all I taste is liver. I've eaten three cookies, drunk lots of water and tried juice too, yuck. I was actually wondering if I had slight amemia b/c the first bites went down pretty well, hehehe.
One of my comments was that I comapared liver to soylent green. Nate said No, there is no comparison, but come on, liver is liver in any mammal, its the same thing. I feel yucky :) I hope you are laughing by now, but I know my storytelling is not that of some of my friends, so I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am!
On a separate note, my dad had rotator cuff surgery yesterday, and is now home and feeling fine, although I spoke to him at noon and he was going to bed :) Huh, he had a bovine patch applied to his muscle to help stabilize the tear. I wonder if I ate cow liver?
On that note,
Auf Wiedersehen!
