Smoked Trout

Trout!

The smoked trout we picked up after lunch was dinner.  The hotel let me eat it on the patio, and brought me a coke and a basket of fries.  The trout was excelent!  The bones came out fairly easily.  It was perfect.  I haven’t had smoked trout in a long time, and this was an excellent example of how it should be.

It was then time to actually pay my hotel bill.  Apparently, cash is king.  So carry lots of it.

You get really good service when you’re walking about with that many Euros.

Coke..in a bottle?

One thing I’d not gotten here was a Coke from a vending machine. Just now we headed to the on site cafeteria and the only vending machines I’ve seen (well, other than the cigarette machines that are every 5 feet on the street).

0.70€ for a coke.  That includes a 0.20€ fee for the bottle.  On other side of the vending machines is a bottle return machine.  It claims to give out 0.20€ for your bottle.  We’ll see how that works out…

At any rate.  Coke. Smile. 🙂

Smoked Trout

Today at lunch in the cafeteria we were talking about different types of food. They mentioned they had trout and asked if I’d had any. I said I love trout, I do, and that there’s smoked trout. So I of course asked what time and where was dinner…

30 minutes later we’re here:
Zordel Fischzucht

Seigfreid got flashed on the way there – probably 20€ ticket, and he bought us some smoked trout. Fabulous!

I know what I’m having for dinner!
