Schweineschnitzel?

The waiter set the plate in front of me along with two bowls, one of vegetables and the other with fried stuffed...meatballs, maybe? However, my eyes were locked on the main course. Two pieces of perfectly browned and breaded tenderized pork topped with a mushroom and black peppered sauce. Yummy!  
Schweineschnitzel, though I couldn’t pronounce it, seemed to look the best on the menu plus it came with dessert. To me, I have savored enough cheesy stuffed burgers along with some (I cannot even describe how amazing), everything in one, burritos in Mexico. Oh yeah, without forgetting a delicious variety of Polish pierogies, but I haven’t yet had the chance to try a German dish. There were some meals that had Suaerkraut which is pickled shredded cabbage. For those that don’t have enough sour foods that make your lips pucker like a lemon, Suaerkraut is definitely good especially in a wrap with pork, and sweet mustard. I will have to come back with the names of these places that I eat…just the smell of what’s cooking at these restaurants is very distracting –enough to forget where you are. Back to the Schweineschnitzel, the best way to describe how it tastes crunchy, fresh, spicy as well as sweet (from the sauce) and very satisfactory.
As for the other fried stuffed, was it, meatballs? No, not meatballs, they were fried homemade dumplings that if I hadn’t already been stuffed on the fried pork I might have chewed them all down. Those were also crunchy, but right when your teeth would sink into them they’d be soft and moist.
Finally, to complete this fulfilling meal, the dessert arrives. A clear glass with three layers starting at the bottom was ice-cream then a thick strawberry mixture topped with thick whipped cream. The ice-cream itself tasted new, more thick and milky with a slight crunch of ice. Just imagine all your senses tied onto the sweet smells of the strawberries, touch of the cool sundae glass on your fingertips, seeing the cherry on top as if to guide you on where to begin, and forgetting the voice of whoever is talking because you are too distracted with what is about to begin.

Gulp. All done.

Okay, I didn't down it like a shot but it did go pretty fast. One of many, the best ice-cream sundae/waffle things I have ever had.
Now someone, roll me home.

*Side note: Although there are many countries that people cook after, Italian, Mexican, French, Indian, there are some that haven’t seem to even be cracked open German or Polish. I think my recipe book is missing a bit of variety.
