Well, it depends... if we're talking about traditional Bavarian "cuisine": you're right. 60% meat, 30% beer and 10% of what they think is salad (but I don't suppose Mozza would move to the country anyways). The thing is: most of us don't eat these things nowadays, it's more of a tourist-thing to do. And many Germans have turned into vegetarians in the last few years - for obvious reasons. The biggest supermarkets over here - ALDI and LIDL - even started selling soy-products (sausages, milk, hamburgers etc.) a couple of months ago. So we're changing just like everybody else does or hopefully will do soon. In fact I remember an interview Morrissey gave where he said that he likes the fact that Germany has become a very veggie-friendly country, even more than England (? I'm not sure about that. Don't hate me!). So, Kwepie, I hope your vegetarian friend will come and visit again... and if he or she is starving: my Penne Al Arrabiata are the best in town
