Sorry you didn't get to try the local blood sausage. It's quite a different kind of blood sausage and it's delicious! Nobody knows what I'm talking about unless they have tried it .
Drinking, Duesseldorf style. I'm partial to Altbier. After 5 days of Koelsch pub scrawl I could finally slag it off. Koelsch is not for me. I'm no coward, had to do it to find out for myself.
I love southern style, too. My first love of German beer began in Bamberg, Franconia. But, in Franconia sitting in a rural Biergarten under a linden tree contemplating the universe and realising how lucky you are to be able to enjoy the little things in life. It's not like drinking yourself into a coma like Oktoberfest kind of event.
In awe. Respect, please.
Another favourite spot of mine in Duesseldorf for Hausmannkost (home-style food).
On the same day they had a football match. This pre football match experience was just as brutal as in Rotherham, but here everyone was calm and considerate. I would not want to experience this again in Rotherham (or Sheffield), where I happened to be on that day, quite unknowingly.
