Nuremberg Sausages!

First trip to Nuremberg.  Got there during noontime.  Our tour guide said that people often bought three small bratwurst sausages in one sandwich and ate them as they walked about the town and shopped.

We had to try it ourselves, especially since the Nuremberg Sausage has been made famous by Trader Joe’s “Bavarian Bratwurst” advertised as a  “Traditional Nuremberg


Sausage”.  Where better to try this than at the Bratwursthausle in the center of Nuremberg in Bavaria?

We asked about ordering three sausages and were led by our waiter back into the kitchen and an inside dining room that is probably the place to be in the winter. Here we exchanged our order for three sausages in a bread pocket.  We paid and wandered out on the streets of Nuremberg, munching our three sausage  sandwichs, and shopping through impressive farmer’s markets spread out under tent covers in the town square.  


Delicious?  Ahhh – fanTAStic!

Shea's on Lansdowne Street in Naples, Florida features Irish music on Tuesday evenings beginning at 5:00 p.m.  The music is very Irish and you will have a hard time sitting still when they are playing.  We went there Tuesday evening on 13 September, 2016.  Got there about 5:30 and  were spellbound by the music.  We enjoyed a draft beer, then ordered another to go with our meal of the evening.  I had a “Yawkey Way”, with pastrami, swiss cheese, deli mustard on marble rye and some cole slaw to kill for!  My wife had  “El Tiante”, and she thought it was all very good, and she said the Baked Beans were fabulous!


We left Shea’s about 8:00 p.m. and am not really sure that the Irish music ever stopped!  The orchestra certainly seemed to be having a blast!  

And by the way, don’t leave Shea’s without making a trip to the restroom.  Easy to find, just past the old Boston telephone booth.  It may take you back to the MTA, and just for a moment you can “ride forever ‘neath the streets of Boston”, but then you have to return.
