I've not been there. But there is a similar place n Austin on 4th street that I use to frequent, however the name escapes me.

I suspect you are referring to The Ginger Man. They have moved a couple of blocks and are now on Lavaca St. Or you may have been referring to the Waterloo Brewing Company, which used to be on 4th & Guadalupe Streets, but that was a loooong time ago.

You know, Im a little pissed off that Coral Gables Florida has better German restaraunts than my neighbor New BRaunfels, Texas. I used to go to http://www.friesenhausnb.com/lunch.htm but havent been in awhile, but judging by the menu it's lacking.

Wumpy,

German food in Central Texas seems to be waning. Walburg is still popular -- surely you must have been to Walburg when you lived in Liberty Hill, or on one of your trips up to Temple? But Walburg is mostly for drinking beer these days. Dale's Essenhaus and The Walburg Mercantile have both Americanized their menus (especially Dale's). But the sauerbraten and spaetzle at The Mercantile is yummy.

Regards,

Henry

Funny story, I've been there. I used to date a guy in Austin and he was a big fan of beer (he would turn his nose up at anything that didn't have some crazy name). So we went there a couple times and bartender tried desperately to find a beer I would drink. Eventually I settled on something he referred to as "Water".

Outside of your trailer park there is a big wide world, bigger than a double wide even. There are strange lands where people sometimes enjoy refreshing drinks with food, or even just relaxing with good conversations of multi-syllabic words.

In these odd, funny lands (strange lands without mullets, where people don't even talk american) people drink other things than draino pounded down the gullet with a rusty hammer.

Hopefully you will never have your house-arrest anklet off long enough to get as far as meeting them, we'd hate for it to blow your fragile little mind (or put them off their feed). Better you remain blisfully ignorant, with your belly full of budwiser and your head full of meth.

Good luck.

That was too evil, yet funny as hell. It sounds like such a frightening New World cultural encounter.

If I ever have/adopt a child I'll name her Budweiser Consuela. It has a rather redneckish chic ring to it.

The Ginger Man...YES! that was such an awesome place. So many memories .

and oh yes, I've been to Walburg a time or 2. Love that town, wished I had a reason to move there, lol. I actually quite LOVED living in Liberty Hill. It was such a quaint place to get away from the Hubbub of Austin.

I got the sausage at a place called Di Bruno Brothers, but there are several meat shops either downtown or in the Italian Market in my neighborhood that carry extensive selections of handmade sausage. Like this place for example it's all they do.

Oh, see if this link works as you can see the 100-year old interior of the store (click on the inset picture on the right under the map and it will zoom you all the way into the store where you can pan around). This is about 10 blocks from my apartment. Like something from a movie, yet surprisingly not at all touristy. Well, maybe a little on weekends but not at all during the week.

There's another couple similar places right around the corner from the other place and is great too. Where else can you buy wild boar sausage? Check out the list:

http://www.dangelobros.com/sausage.html

You know, my first apartment in NYC was right in Little Italy and I don't recall the food choices being as good as this Italian section of Philly. But I was only in my mid-20's at the time.

WillyWump · « **Reply #515 on:** February 21, 2012, 12:38:31 am »

Cute quaint little place.

I may have to venture out tomorrow and see if I can find some good Italian handmade sausage down here.

Clutch the pearls! A new, trendy/hip Southern/Cajun restaurant is opening up 10 blocks from me.

Comfort foods like stuffed pork roulade, crawfish pot-pie, seitan meatloaf and sweet potato mash are just a few of the anticipated dishes.

... sounds like they're trying to dial down the Paula Deen fat content, no? Seitan meatloaf? Pa-leez.

And before you Southern girls start to read, the chef is from 'Bama

Yes, actually I ate it for this huge festival when I was in Sweden 25 fucking years ago when you were still in diapers. It's a big annual tradition there during part of August, and they consume large amounts of vodka chasers during the whole thing. You've not been around seriously drunk people until you're done this with Swedes. They're quite shocking.

I've also had langoustine in France but I think that's a slightly different species, though similar.

I'm fairly good about trying any type of food.
