One of the local meat markets still carries the square loaf covered in the firm white fat I used to love.<br /><br />I like mine with thinly sliced sweet onions, similarly sliced kosher dills, the spicy brown mustard (aka German mustard) on seeded rye bread. Some good German potato salad and a nice dark beer (lots of foam, please) on the side and I am in heaven - or close enough!<br /><br />Now I must go to the grocery!The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-25320119824492005092015-01-04T15:06:51.027-06:002015-01-04T15:06:51.027-06:00Childhood, yes.
