As always, my holiday in Germany was filled with rest and relaxation, but during this springtime season of the year, I enjoyed the added bonus of virtually endless white asparagus and strawberries.
Late springtime in Germany is the season for the freshest, juiciest, sweetest locally-grown strawberries and delicious white asparagus, two food items I enjoyed each day just as much as my coffee. After eating German strawberries, you really cannot go back to our pesticide-laden strawberries in California…they are just not the same.
Of course, every trip in Germany includes plenty of great coffee (I have my favorite two spots in Lörrach and do not deviate from them) and plenty of ice cream, particularly Spaghettieis, a German ice cream dish made to resemble a plate of spaghetti with vanilla ice cream extruded through a Spätzle press, giving it the appearance of spaghetti. It is then placed over whipped cream and topped with strawberry sauce (to resemble tomato sauce) and white chocolate shavings (to resemble parmesan cheese).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
