z, this isn't too surprising. Apparently with all their millionaires and lust for western capitalism, the Chinese are becoming the biggest consumers of luxury European products and other more mainstream ones like bratwurst, it seems.

Well, not ALL of a kitty is steaks. Some of it has to be ground and used somehow.

Better bratwurst than hot dogs made of genuine dog. I see this as a good thing but I'd like to see a few more American made products sold there.

don't they have Chineses restaurants in Germany?

Z said...

Elbro, I see China as so much more exotic that it struck me a lot funnier than the Chinese restaurants I've seen in Germany. Funny to see China actually embracing anything but figuring out ways to kill us through dangerous products they supply us! Oh, and the cyberthreats they're supposedly working on.

They'll censor the German journalists (and others) but they'll serve bratwurst to make sure they feel comfortable while they're lied to.

A trend; next they will be naming their kids Gunther Kim, Chou en Goering, Mao Tse von Rundstadt
and Adolf Hsu. BTW, have you noticed that many olymic ping pong teams have picked up expatriate
chinese mainlanders?

Well it figures considering the way our country and the world is going. The whole reason behind the EU is globalization - now the real question is will the U.S. buy into it and sellout our dollars for the Euro?

Hey, not even I could begrudge the ChiComs a good 'Wurst. ;)

i cannot imagine eating bratwurst ANYWHERE!

Z said...

nanc, one of my TOP food moments (and I've had hundreds of top moments) in Munich in December standing at a wurst stand on a corner of the main city platz and eating a bratwurst in a roll, no mustard, nothing..it was THAT good that it needed nothing else.....light snow falling, looking at the Christmas market and the 18' Christmas tree full of white lights.

I wish I could do a blog of NOTHING but food moments that good but our keyboards would be drooled up so badly we couldn't blog anymore!

Catwurst/dogwurst...? I HOPE NOT! MYSTERY MEAT in BEIJING..yuck.

It probably is dog meat.

Bratwurst must be slatheredd in barbecue sauce and grilled until the sauce tastes like pumice, St. Louis style.

Z said...

beamish, you don't know bratwurst!

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Z,

Don't you say that! I live in St. Louis, which is a French city taken over by Germans.

And carbonized barbecue sauce is awesome. You can make jewelry out of it.

Z said...

Beamish..CABONized BBQ sauce?"

Does GORE know about that? CARBON..ARGH!!
