Meat is was Murder

crossposted in German at Sistaweb

I've been a Vegetarian for over 11 years.  In 1995, I spontaneously decided that I much preferred cows to steaks.  Since that fateful Thursday, all those years ago, I've eaten neither meat, nor fisch nor fowl, nor Gummi-bears, and I've felt better about myself, being a friend of the animals.

But now, I say shit on 'em.  Maddox put it best, when he said, "If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat".  On Tuesday, September 12, 2006 (our monthly Date Evening), I, Rube, will, for the first time since the first Clinton presidency, give the knife-and-fork-treatment to an unlucky one of our four-feeted friends. And I'll enjoy it, despite current scandals in the German meat packing industry and the lugubrious braying of militant PETA-Hippies.

But it's not without its difficulties, this change in eating habits.  I've never actually eaten meat here in Germany.  I have no idea how things like Wienerschnitzel or Currywurst taste, not to mention what one puts on them.  Does mayonnaise go with Leberkse?  Does one eat Schweinsbraten with his fingers? I have no idea.  That's why Rube needs your help!

If you've spent some time in Germany, and know your way around the Teutonic kitchen, drop me a line in the comments. Or, if you've got some secret tips, like how one goes about eating Weisswurst, feel free to chime in.  I'm a complete beginner here, so no piece of information is too trivial.

Thanks for your support!
