Epic Salad!

New Sausage


Classic breakfast sausage links.  Bit saltier than bratwurst.  Boring and maybe I over seasoned the food.

Cune Rioja


Citrus after first then woody and a rather bitter aftertaste.

Let it breath a bit and the taste really smooths over.  Nothing biting.  Rather, overwhelmingly clean blend of the flavors.

New Table!


Thanks Bart!  I think I like this better than the old one.

Most Expensive Sardines


These were the most expensive sardines I could buy at 2.60 SFr.  They were much less fishy.  I forget the brand.

Sardines are a great source of protein in a pinch.  Mostly they are packed in oil and sealed.  One package is about 2 SFr containing four filets with total calorie content of about 200 (65% fat).  These are pretty light on the oil.  They taste very much like tuna and not at all (salty) like anchiovies.  I put these in my salads for a nicoise sort of feeling.  The bones are surprisingly unnoticeable.

Laugen Brochten?


Pretzel bread is delicious.  Light dough with medium density and a bit of salt.  This one cost 1 SFr.  I recommend picking them up from corner bakeries rather than mass markets.
