Snuff Machine, käsespätzle, schnapps

I've noticed that Bavarians like working really hard and then drinking lots of beer as a reward. The hike up to this hut was 30 minutes up a steep steep hill. I kinda cheated, I still had lots of beer and spatzle and yet my conscience is as clear as the Bavarian sky over Kempten.

Grüß Gott people!

Grated pasta with lots and lots of onions and cheese.

Batter fried apples with ice cream and whipped cream, flambe style.

Life elixer #2, the owner of the hut makes this stuff


This could have gone bananas but it was just tobacco in the sniffing machine

Fertile Bavaria

Onion Syrup

So I caught a cold on the nasty bus from Marseilles to Kempten. Tony pulled out his apothecary and instructed Christina how to make Onion syrup. Everything goes into this syrup, including two onions, obvs.


the cigarettes don't go into the syrup
