    Mushrooms, but I can't remember the name of the goats cheese one. It will be something "käse ".

    Steve, you are right: the menu is a bad joke, even though it is for real. And of course, it does not represent the English average.
    I added a clarification to my post.
    Cheers, Daniel

    Andy, the topping on Jägerschnitzel is a gravy with Champignons and sweet red peppers.
    The Schnitzel, we ate topped with goatcheese, sautéed onions and crumbs of dried meat (no pear though) was called Schnitzel Welfenstube.
    But this is a local name; it was the restaurant’s special. I never saw it elsewhere in Germany.

    I think the restaurant itself is called Schnitzelhaus Welfenstrube and the goats cheese schnitzel is it's special dish. :cool:

    The goat's cheese and pear schnitzel is called Birne Helene and the missus thought it was one of the nicest dishes she has tasted. I had the Jaegerschnitzel last night and today we picked up 12 bottles of Reisling from a winery just a few kilometres from Cochem and some 100ml bottles each of butterscotch, kircsh and limoncello from one of the wine shops in Cochem. These we will use for making ice cream sundaes when we get home. I think the alcohol contents are about 30%.

    I suppose the point of all this is that good food at reasonable prices can be found easily enough if you keep away from touristy areas. Beverley is a bit upmarket in the great scheme of things but away from the more popular tourist trails.
    I remember going with SWMBO to the Lake District a good few years ago for a day trip out on the bike. The prices being asked for light refreshments was horrendous, even by today's standards. Needless to say we've not been back, and probably never will.
    I'm quite happy for people to make a profit from me - indeed it would be pointless for them if they didn't as they have to make a living and pay their bills etc. - but I don't like being robbed blind.

    Rant over! Now ..... breathe ......!

    Went to the Vulkaneifel Therme in Bad Berty today, got a voucher at the hotel reception which gave 3 hours for the price of 2. Constant 32 Centigrade thermal spring waters, really enjoyed it especially basking in the warm waters outside with the sun shining, blue sky and the backdrop of the tree clad hillside.
    The Schnitzelhaus was bloody well shut last night ! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    No wonder the Germans lost two world wars !!! How can a man maintain the will to fight when he can't get a Bad Berty Schnitzelhaus schnitzel on a Monday night ? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    And guys and gals: we were darned lucky with the choice of time for our trip. It got pretty chilly the last couple of days with the early morning temperatures dropping to 3 degrees.
    :sun:

    Looks like a great trip. I remember stopping off in Boppard a few years ago on the way through Germany. Lovely place.

    We have a policy on here, we all meet up at the new members homes to see where they live, there’s going to be a trip with a 1000 riders to your place in Germany next week. Will you be in to show us all your bike Munchen?
