Pig!!!
Maybe I should explain the cryptic post title.
For the last couple of days (left Friday, got back yesterday everning) have been spent in Germany on a Stag do, in Dusseldorf (though we managed a day trip to Cologne).
During that time, I ate a hell of a lot of the stuff! In fact, I think today was the first day I’ve eaten any reasonable quanity of the non-pig or non-bread based food substance!
Anyway, a good time was had by all. From my point of view, it was good fun to experience another country again. I also understand why my father-in-law really enjoyed Germany as a student as well.
All that needs to be done now is find out where the hell I can buy some Alt and Kölsch beer.
ROFL… I like this comment on the Wiki entry for Kölsch
Because of the now-friendly rivalry between Kölsch and Altbier-producing cities, particularly Düsseldorf, one can purchase PC keyboards in Kölsch with a “Kölsch key”, instead of an “Alt” key.

Alt und schwein! Alt und schwein!
Found this website which has Alt & Kolsch – no idea if they’re any good though.
Good site… may have some hope now of rescuing situation where Yuko has told father-in-law that I DID bring back some German beer without waiting for me to get back from Germany first.
DOH!
