Please let me properly introduce myself

I love Nutella on bannanas. I kid myself that I'm eating healthy
because I'm getting all the fruity goodness and fiber when I sit there
in front of the TV dipping the ends of a bannana into a jar of Nutella
and bite off the chocolate coated end.

I've been told there's an organic version of a chocolate and hazelnut
spread made in Britain by Black & Green's that's better than Nutella,
but I've never been able to find it in a store.

OMG. Two ideas I do not need!

I was in Munich less than two weeks ago! Very pretty city, but I
didn't stay long enough to sample much food. While I was there, I had
mackerel, shrimp, and lobster consomme soup.

You had better food than I did! Did you see Marianplatz? (I may be spelling
it wrong.) It is the town hall, not too far from the train station. (I came
in
from Sienna, Italy, taking a bus to Firenze then the train to Munchen.) I
met a lovely
man at the nearby shops who took me under his wing and took me to the
Hofbrauhaus along with another tourist traveling solo. He was an older
German man, just a really nice soul, no ulterior motives or anything. There
I saw the older men in black leather shorts who played Ooompa music!
I drank maybe 1/10th of a stein of beer that was as big as my head!
One thing that surprised me: prostitution is legal there. I did not know
that.
There are bars with red lights that you better not go in.

Wild boar?

Yep. All over the place in the forest. Remember this was out in
the
sticks. Nüle calls them wild pigs, but they are what we know here
as
wild boar. Hairy brown piggies, tusks and a nasty temper.
In Germany they mainly come out at night. I thought I wanted to see
some, so we went out and sat by a pond just outside the village.
Not
that it would have mattered if we were *in* the village, it's almost
deserted - 20 houses or so over a large area.
Dusk approached. Lots of bats were insect-catching over the surface
of the pond. Then I heard a sort of crashing in the undergrowth
noise. Quite close. Then I decided I wanted to go home without
seeing a wild boar ;-) So we did!

When I was a little kid growing up in Munich, we used to save all our
stale bread until we had a few big bags. Then my parents would take
me to the forest at sunset, where they had this great fenced in
parking area. We'd throw the stale bread over the fence into the
forest and dozens of wild boar would come running up and scarf down
the bread. I absolutely loved it! I used to keep an eye on the bread
bags and when they'd even get close to being full, I'd start to pester
my parents to take me to the boars.

I didn't see too many things there, since I was there for only one
whole day, but I'll probably be passing through there again pretty
soon. It's actually better to visit Germany in spring, rather than
this time of year though, since the Germans really have a good sense
of aesthetics when it comes to growing and flowering things in their
parks and gardens.

Sounds like the places here where people have started to drive out to
the garbage dumps to watch the bears.

Right you are. I was last there in April and it was beautiful. Go out at
dusk and have dinner and a drink in the beer gardens. In Munich squares
are full of people dining and socializing. There are sculptures of Leninist
heroes and workers everywhere--very different from any art I saw in
Italy or France. The look to be done in the 1930s but it is hard to tell.
My mother's Bavarian grandfather was a gardener, and she took after him
in loving to grow things. I am afraid I got none of that, but I do love to
see
what others grow. If you go in the spring, I hope you will tell us about
your
trip.

You must like bananas that are still firmer than I like them. I'm imagining
losing the banana in the nutella!

I've been told there's an organic version of a chocolate and hazelnut spread
made in Britain by Black & Green's that's better than Nutella, but I've
never been able to find it in a store.

Never heard of it ... better than Nutella is hard to imagine!
