Back in Frankfurt area for a weekend with the relatives and it's all schnitzel and beer... the German national pastime (or is that Austria?) It's one of the best ways to overcome the language barrier... you talk about the food, figure out what to order, order, then stuff your face and talk about it some more. But hey, it's a good way to keep the conversation from going too technical or political (which quickly becomes hopeless for all but the most fluent). This place was a little out of control... each order had a full plate-sized schnitzel on it and then you start eating and discover another one just as big hiding underneath! Must be a ploy to sell more beer.
