Haven't spent much time outdoors lately-- it's just too darned cold out (tonight's low: 18 degrees F) to hit the town and take new photos, so here's an oldie from a slightly warmer time. This is the mural in the parking lot for the local Metzgerei (a combo of a butcher and deli) showing their 2 favorite ingredients floating adrift like some Pink Floyd album cover or something. Metzgerei are pretty handy because they usually have everything you need for snacks, lunch, and dinner from coffee to-go, ready-made sandwiches (most have a small sit-down area for eating), side dishes and in most cases, prepared and cooked food-- chickens, sausages, and the like in addition to the selection of meat and cold cuts. As with most specialty vendors here, you sort of bide your time and develop a relationship with your local shop, so my Metzgerei crew patiently (I hesitate to use the word "cheerfully") puts up with my abysmal Deutsch because I'm a regular.
