[Leica] Re: St. Pauli, German beer, bread

[paul at paulhardycarter.com (PHC)]

Currywurst! A new found favourite of mine. My fascination is at an 
early stage, so I'm not qualified to reflect on relative qualities, but 
the best I've tasted so far is in a place called "3 Frites" in 
Marktplatz, Bonn. Not your average Imbiss by any means and the food is 
great even if the slammin' house sounds aren't quite to my taste. The 
only cutlery they give you are Bundeswehr knife/fork/spoon field sets.

As an aside, the pater familias of the house where I stayed was telling 
me how he used to do very well selling these knife/fork/spoon sets to 
US soldiers in southern Germany when he was in the army in the early 
60s. The going rate was 200 American cigarettes, apparently.
