Foodblogging: Weird German Food Edition
Right. So, after the lazy soup that ended my last entry, I made "Kirschmichel", a baked, sweet dish made - in my case - from semolina, milk, eggs, almonds, sugar, and cherries. I've recently learned that a proper Kirschmichel is actually made with bread rather than semolina - but the semolina version is the one I grew up with, and we called it Kirschmichel, so for me, that's what Kirschmichel is. I forgot to take a picture when it was still in the dish (that would have looked nicer), but on my plate it looked like this:
The next day I had the leftovers, fried in a pan (which made them taste even better).
I know I promised weird German food, but the next two things actually weren't German. For two days, I had risotto with broccoli:
And then, again for two days, lasagne (with spinach). The pic is from the second day, when I fried slices of leftover lasagne in a pan:
And finally, yesterday and today I had "Frankfurter Grüne Soße":
That's a cold sauce made from seven different herbs that's eaten with potatoes and boiled eggs, mainly in the country of Hesse, where I grew up. My parents brought me the herbs last weekend.
