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.

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 :(

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.

Yeah, the food there was delicious. :-)

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.

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^^

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!!

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...

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

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... ^^;

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
