Where in the World?

I’m in Leipzig, Germany today. One of the many things that makes me happy is to try the local food wherever I go. I’m continually fascinated by the seemingly infinite variety of choices, tastes, combinations and culture that comprise local cuisine.

Leipzig is average size city in eastern Germany. The people here are very nice and laid back. There are a large number of restaurants and shops in the city center area. I really love how most European cities are designed to support a large amount of walking. It’s quite different than the majority of U.S. cities where driving is the main mode of access.

After taking a walk, we stopped at Coffe Braum to try some of the local dishes. Each of us picked different entrees. I must say the starter of potato soup with sausage was excellent. The main course for each of us was quite tasty. The food had a lot of subtle flavors that combined quite well.

It’s important for our growth to continually try new things. See my post on teaching old dogs new tricks. You don’t have to go out of the country to do this. Go to a different area of the city you live in. Try a restaurant you haven’t tried before. It doesn’t really matter whether you end up liking it or not. The point is that you are stepping out of your daily routine, opening your perspective to new things and generating a little bit of adventure in your life.

Have a great day!
