I read that there are 1500+ kinds of German sausages, and after just a little more than a day wondering around Frankfurt, I would have to agree. I had a weisswurst today while walking through and outdoor market and it really hit the spot. I also tried the Falscher Hase (a sort of German meat loaf), but managed to stay away from the giant pig knuckles that almost every deli seemed to be selling. I don't think that 1500 number even includes something called Wurstsalat, which is exactly that -- sausage and cheese chopped up and tossed with mayo. It's even available pre-made at the store for those of you who might be too busy to chop their own wursts. Yummm.
My mom had back surgery a few years ago so when I saw a sign for "Back Store" I went right in thinking that maybe they would have some sort of secret German solution for my mom's back pain. Turns out "Back Store" is actually a chain of German bakeries. I'm hoping the chocolate croissant and I bought helps her, but of course I knew that wouldn't really work. So I ate it instead.
