Germans..... (traditional.. older ones especially) have absolutely no idea what to do with vegetarians.. or how to respond... I got enough interrogation (which i dont..and still don't know how to explain in german) in the beginning.. i mean GRILLED about it. Leonie for reasons unknown- even to her.. has not eaten meat in almost 3 months. She eats fish.. but she says that she just hasnt had the appetite for meat. That's pretty cool.. but tonight at our cousins birthday dinner.. she got NAILED by the extended family as to why she isnt eating meat. It is very much apart of the German diet.. but it is in America as well. Any way.. I can't decide whether germans honestly don't understand vegetarianism an are offended.. or if they are genuinely interested as to what dictated that decision. Tonight for dinner at our aunts house...she made some kind fo meat infested soup.. which of course Leonie and I couldnt eat... so... we got a bread basket instead... the LAST time we had dinner by them which was in the Fall..tehy grilled out.... and you know what i was served?(which is fine by me.. it's just funny to see the panic as to what the hell do we do with a vegetarian..) i was served a pile of grilled zucchini..
I would take a pile of zucchini over the damn bread basket any way... needless to say... I waited until we were home to eat dinner.
