Hello! My name is Haruhi and I'm the first guest writer on dannychoo.com. Danny is down with jetlag so I will take over for today.
I went with Danny to Germany to see the sights and have good food - lots of it ^o^

Yummy frankfurters. We have these in Japan but they come in plastic bags and not jars.
Lots of nice drinks in Germany.
The biscuits are lovely.
Me in Hohenschwangau.
Japan is lacking in good pastry orz.
Fresh fruit drinks.
More pastry.
Asian type foods.
Lunch at Berlin station.
Ah, I think this was posted before ^^;
Even more psatry.
And more...
The sandwiches taste great too.
The yogurt drinks taste so good.
Breakfast in Hotel lounge = 26 Euros.
Breakfast in the park with lovely view, sandwich n milk = 3 Euros.

Jacket potato filled with everything.
I suppose it does look like vomit but tastes great.
Meat stuffs.
How I miss having Fish Fingers back in the UK - non in Japan orz. Haruhi was born and raised in the UK.
Maggi mixes - non in Japan either.
Remember having a ton of tin soups back in the UK too.
Brekkie on the train.
A stall selling sweets which dont look edible.
Smoked salmon.
Me in Hohenschwangau near the lake.
Time for more lunch.
Mushrooms in garlic.
Nice lady wondering why we are taking pics instead of buying.
By Hohenschwangau lake.
Fillit O chicken n fries. The fries in Germany are awesome. Does my writing style sound like Danny?
Atashi kawaii?
Lump O chicken in gravy.
White asparagus costs a bomb in Japan.
Unlike Tokyo, you will find many tables and chairs out in the open outside restaurants.
Veggie soup. I found that the cost of eating out in Germany cost an average of 15 euros to 20 euros per meal compared to an average of 1,000 yen to 1,500 yen in Japan - much more expensive to eat in Germany ^^; Could be because of the weak yen though.
Whats the average cost of a meal in your region?

Lump O potatoes.
Does it look like I'm sticking up my middle finger in this photo?
Taking a break from all the meat n potatoes with some salad.
Hot cocoa n slices of meat for brekkie.
Inside Neuschwanstein Castle.
On the lake in a row boat. I got Danny to do all the paddling.
More frankfurter n fries.
Some sort of ball type dessert.
Looks yummy but tastes...not so yummy.
The worst worst "Chinese" food I have ever ever ever tasted in my entire life.
More hotel brekkie.
And more hotel brekkie.
Fries and frankfurter for lunch.
Everywhere I travel I always get some milk. I think I've mentioned before but they say that folks who like milk also like eyes.
Do not eat dogs.
This drink was just so yummy - coconut n pistachio flavored.
About to get some grub.
Chicken, fries n salad.
Some last minute shopping.
Brekkie before we left Germany.
Sushibox suki.
Lunch at Frankfurt airport.
Bangers n mash.
We loved the food in Germany and wish some of it was available in Japan. I've seen some German restaurants here but not that many.
After the conference in Hamburg, we headed for Berlin where we spent a very hot sunny da...(more)

Nice pictures, but i'm afraid you missed the best food here in germany ^^ Spiessbraten mit Pommes Frites, Jägerschnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln, Kasseler mit Kartoffelbrei und Sauerkraut. Falscher Hase mit Semmelknödeln. Go and search for a translation *G* The prices vary from restaurant to restaurant. Pretty normal if you ask me ;) still you can count on 15€ and up for a full meal with drink and stuff :/ And that Maggi-stuff is evil, so many flavour enhancements that it's not even funny anymore :(

maggi as in instand noodles?
(ID #189894) Posted on 2008/05/17 22:11
No, no, this: http://www.nestleghana.com/html/brands/Maggi/products/sauce_arome.html and MSG stands for MonoSodium Glutamate (food flavor enhancer)

Hey, haruhi if you think the food is great in Germany you should try eating in Portugal. You would be very happy. And you can even bring danny if you want, but i'll only pay your restaurant bill.

Indeed, our cuisine is the best, every foreigner that comes here gets delighted with our food ^^. Is it me or in those pastry picture are "pasteis de nata" typical portuguese pastry.
(ID #189245) Posted on 2008/05/17 01:54
Over here it's pretty hard to find a Portuguese restaurant. I know there's one in Hamburg but I don't know if there's another one at all. Yeah, the food there was delicious. :-)
(ID #189604) Posted on 2008/05/17 10:37
You wont be able to enjoy all portuguese food in a week =P There is some interest food in there, need to try some.
(ID #191053) Posted on 2008/05/19 09:37
I guess the food in Germany is better than in The Netherlands :( I think I saw some weisswurst on that picture of the BBQ though... bad, bad Haruhi. Some of the pictures are really artistic, way to go! You could use another Haruhi figure for a change sometimes though.
(ID #189079) Posted on 2008/05/16 22:06
You never BBQ a Weißwurst. You always cook it in boiling water. No wonder you don't like Weißwurst if you prepare it the wrong way^^
(ID #189531) Posted on 2008/05/17 09:28
no no we did boil it! I haven't eaten *any* wurst since that week...

The food in Germany looks really yummy, Danny... uh, I mean Haruhi! >.< Love to try a lot of the stuff shown and I guess a few are similar to the food available here in Australia. Not that pistachio and coconut (love coconut) drink though. Gotta love these posts and pics about foodies!!

Hahaha! Haruhi's trapped in the plastic bag for cutlery(i think) What's she trying to do? Suffocate herself lol

Wow this post is about food, food and more food! Made me hungry... Germany looks like it has the yummiest pastries, no offense Japan~ LOL Danny you had to do the paddling? Did you have a game of janken to decide who paddled?
(ID #189099) Posted on 2008/05/16 22:24
I think the costs for prepared food in Japan are probably amongst the lowest in the developed world - couldn't get meals like that in the UK at a reasonable cost. The only thing I really miss about European food is the affordable price of amazing cheeses...
(ID #189102) Posted on 2008/05/16 22:29
I really miss Western food now. Especially the abundance of affordable fruit.

Even though I didn't have an appetite at dinner earlier, you're making me drool seeing all these food photos now!! Curses!! Nooooooo~ LOL at the last photo, guess the airline food was so bad she decided to suffocate herself dead.

You know how you take your Figma Haruhi everywhere you go Danny? What would you do if say, when posing her on the side of the boat (pictured above), she fell into the water? Would you dive in after her? or just wait till you return to Japan and purchase another one? xD

I rather wonder how Danny does transport her... looking at mine... seems so fragile and delicate i am afraid to move her joints lol... He must have some special box... ^^v
(ID #189112) Posted on 2008/05/16 22:41
Haha, yeah, he keeps her in a special mini coffin. She's secretly undead -- actually that'd be pretty risky putting her near running water if the legend is true. ^^; I'm such a nerd.
(ID #194641) Posted on 2008/05/23 14:35
He prolly has a whole closet full of them, when one bites it, he pulls another from it's MIB status. ^^;

Now i feel like rambling truh all the food booths i can spot on the street... didn't have lunch yet... work... *starve* I agree with Blackster that you missed out on some great food though. ;) But i guess a week isn't just enough, also food isn't everything... seriously i won't miss anything if i go to Tokyo... then again i prolly see myself kickin my own ass for saying that once i am in Tokyo huh... hmmm! Maybe i would end up cooking more myself to have "german food" as long as they have most of the groceries. ^^v Great Haruhi pics by the way... the one on the boat... i would have been hella afraid that she could drop into the water and sunk... :( Also i'm still afraid to move my little Haruhi, just sooo delicate joints ... afraid to break them. x_X;; I need to train a bit figma posing... ^^;

(ID #189121) Posted on 2008/05/16 23:00
Awesome photos, love Haruhi. ^^; The food looks delicous, well not all but most of it. Though, I'm kinda tired of the food here in EU. Need some real Asian soon.

I shat bricks at Maggi in Germany lol!
(ID #189134) Posted on 2008/05/16 23:28
Haha, i thought Maggi was Malaysia's brand all these years! Maggi was very popular in Malaysia;many Malaysian called instant noodle "Maggi" (proof of Maggi popularity here)
(ID #189154) Posted on 2008/05/17 00:01
same here in india. even though top ramen was the first to actually bring out noodles here (i think), maggi is more popular. btw nice pose with the book Haruhi. can we get it in the wallpapers section soon?
(ID #189198) Posted on 2008/05/17 00:57
Haha LoL... Maggi Hot Cup Thought the same too orz

I hijack this from Wiki :p Maggi is a Nestlé brand of instant soups, stocks, ketchups and instant noodles. The alimentary company came into existence in 1872 in Switzerland, when Julius Maggi took over his father's mill. No Maggi is not a Malaysian brand :p

15-20€? wow, they seem to have raised prices quite a bit lately. groceries are still quite cheap thou afaik (in germany). not so much in my country... but restaurants are equally expensive, surprisingly. maybe you just went to the wrong places with danny. tourist locations are always more expensive. :)
