Today we were treated to lunch by the physical facilities team, as a thank you for all our work helping with the new apartments these last many months. Ivonne was excited to share a traditional German Christmas meal with us: roast goose. This meal is being served in restaurants and homes all over Germany right now, and will be the traditional meal served on Christmas Day. Many people schedule their restaurant goose meals a year in advance.
First we were brought some fresh brown bread and a bowl with a spread made from goose lard and roasted onions. Then the meal came: a leg and thigh, 2 Knödel (dumplings), some roasted chestnuts and a bowl of warm Rotkohl (red cabbage). This is the beloved and traditional meal duplicated all over Germany right now.
