Unfortunately I never was a "normal" German child - so instead of sweets or cakes I ate a big piece of sourdough bread when in a restaurant or cafe with lots of ham, salami, tartare sauce and gherkins on top :)
Sometimes I like a piece of Black Forest Gateaux with lots of cream - about 3 times a year . otherwise it has always been salads and lots of meat and some good bread for me.
Yes a nice apple strudel is great with vanilla sauce - again once every 5 months or so :)

Um seriously though, I know of someone who grew up in a foster home. the 'parents' ate the sav's and they got the soup with a bit of bread. I'm betting their are still kids out there who's tea is sav soup!

+1 Not to mention fried left over spuds on toast & vegemite. A childhood breakfast 'treat' still enjoyed occasionally.

Could you tell me (the "sad" German kid) what sav soup is! I have never heard about it.

saveloy soup is the water in which the savs are cooked.

That was it. I thought how sad not to have had a normal childhood. Uli, I'm sorry I didn't answer quick enough for you but some of us have a life outside TM.

Kay I am glad you feel for me - must be the the first time ever aye!
But never mind - I am not feeling deprived of frilly pink frocks and lots of sweets in my childhood. In fact I was always glad I didn't have to wear that sort of stuff.
And I am happy to hear that you have a life outside TM - it puts things into perspective does it not!
