Oh, and of course you’re right, Adam. I do not want to know how olive loaf is made. It is a guilty pleasure. But one can’t be a purist all the time.

Actually, I find it hard to be a purist at all anymore but that’s another story.

Maybe I lack taste, but I don’t have a favorite Wuerstelstand. I find them all equally charming, with a few disgusting exceptions. The hotdogs are good, but I prefer, when I’m dining with my wife, “what she’s having”. I do that a lot – let her order, then order the same thing. Normally I’ll get a “Haase” or one of the other sausage products. I do order spicy mustard, though, whereas she prefers the sweet.

On the topic of hotdogs, at my younger daughter’s recent birthday party (1 May, a national holiday here, Labor Day, i.e. for the working man, not “Loyalty Day” as President Bush apparently proclaimed recently but that’s another topic) I even sharpened a 3/4″ dowel to hollow out mini-baguettes, after which ketchup was squirted into the holes before sticking in frankfurters or mini-bratwurst.

Wow… I could make a book about my favorite “meat products.” Mig, one that you can appreciate is the Hot Dog Spezial mit Scharfen Senf from the Wuerstelstand near Schwedenplatz. Yum! The BBQ Senf that place used to use is the stuff of dreams, and the hollowed-out and internally toasted baguette that serves as the roll… Ooof!

I think Olive Loaf is more of a “meat product.” But I could be wrong.
