Pork for dinner


Pork for dinner, originally uploaded by david.stockwell.

Bavaria does not look kindly on vegetarians. The signs are everywhere. Bronze boar statues along the central parade, menus that include a single lonely pasta dish as the vegetarian alternative to thirty different kinds of sausage. This photo, shot at a store-front in the town centre, takes the obsessive carnivore thing to cannibalistic, if artistic heights.

It's not all bad news, though. This evening I discovered a pastry that is both croissant and pretzel... soft and buttery on the inside, salty and dark on the outside. Also, at the local supermarket I found coconut flavoured cereal bars delightfully called "Corny".

And then there's the doughnuts...
