Weinerwald doesn't sell sloppy joes.
When I was younger you wouldn't have been that wrong...
It's "Wienerwald"!
If you want to pick on me, do it correctly at least!
Now I'm craving a Manwich, too.

No, Fiction Writer, but it was a looong way!
I lived off of pork, fish and potatoes in Germany. I loved all the different sausages....except Blötwurst. Ew! Weisswurst was definitely my favorite. I love how Bratwurst means something entirely different in the US.
But back to the subject. We are definitely having Manwiches tonight. I can't stop thinking about it. It's been soooo long.
It's been years for me. I literally can't remember the last time I had them. See what you did, GFG!!
What does Bratwurst mean in the US? And please tell those other guys that they taste really good, actually!
Blutwurst is DISGUSTING, though...

Sorry, a slip of the fingers.
Slip of the fingers? Oh PUH-LEEEZE! Ehehe...
That's it. I'm stopping at the store on the way home to get Manwich fixings.

Bratwurst is basically Weisswurst (but not as good), though it is often boiled, und das ist nicht braten! LOL Sometimes it will be a red sausage in the US (I forget the name of the German sausage), but it will have a similar flavor.
And yes, in Germany the sausages are DELICIOUS! Much better than the American version known as Bratwurst.
....This just in.....a surge in Manwich sales hit grocery stores all over the US today.......
Yay, I boosted the Manwich sales all over America...
I actually did something wonderful for your country! Render homage to me! *g*
This is hilarious. I've been to Oktoberfest once. It was really fun.
Yes, Oktoberfest represents German culture extremely well...
*starts crying again*
Does it not?
Leave it to the Texans to mess everything up. I do believe that Texas, in the early years, was mostly German immigrants. I've also been to Luckenbach, TX, pop. 2.)
LOL
Oktoberfest is kind of like a Disney remake of a 40s MGM musical scene set in a fictional Bavarian town. That is how closely it represents Germany.
And yes, central Texas was highly populated by Germans, which is why you still find many German restaurants, churches and many German-speaking families in New Braunfels and Fredericksburg.
There's something about Oktoberfest that reminds me of TGIFridays, or something like that. Isn't there a restaurant chain that uses "Oktoberfest" in their advertising?
NEW BRAUNFELS??!?
Braunfels is about 20miles away from where I live!
Fredericksburg is fun, I think.
I'm gonna go find Luckenbach, TX.
New Braunfels is actually my favorite town in Texas. Home of the world's greatest water park, Schlitterbahn! Beautiful green hills and the river running alongside the park. For dinner, I eat at Oma's Haus. Yum!
Schlitterbahn
How could I forget about Schlitterbahn?
Oh yeah. Because I've never been there.
Schlitterbahn is fab. Although I hear they've now opened a sub-par version in Galveston.
