Es gibt Essen!

"Es gibt Essen," is a phrase I hear several times a day, which translates to: There is food.  I thought I would briefly outline German meals and their consistencies:

• Frühstück/Breakfast: 7:05 AM
• Brot (bread)
• Milch (milk)
• Butter
• Käse, Fleisch, Marmalade, Nutella, oder Erdnussbutter (cheese, meat, jellys, nutella, or peanut butter)
• Mittagessen/Lunch: no specific time  *Usually the one hot meal of the day*
• Anything hot, z.B. Spaghetti oder Suppe (for example, spaghetti or soup)
• Mineralwasser (carbonated water)
• Abendessen/Dinner:
• More bread
• Mineralwasser (carbonated water)

You think people are exaggerating when they say, "They eat a lot of bread in Germany..."  Well they aren't.  I don't mind it, it was just really unexpected.

They have American food chains here, for example McDonalds, Burger King, and Subway.  Apparently McDonalds is really expensive here, there is no dollar menu, so I don't think I will be going there often.  I've only had the pleasure of trying their Subway so far.  It wasn't the same taste that I had been used to in America, but it wasn't bad.  I was saddened when they didn't have my favorite kind of cheese: American. Also, it was more expensive.  What ever happened to the five dollar foot long?

One thing I love about Germany: their bakeries.  I visited one after finishing my English exam and it was de-lish.  I ordered a scone-type thing with strawberry jam in the middle.  I asked, "Darf ich ein Berliner bitte haben?"  I'm not sure if that is correct, but I felt pretty proud of myself for ordering on my own with no one to help me.

To sum this entire post up, FOOD IN GERMANY IS THE BOMB.
