When I was in Germany with my high school orchestra, we had an authentic German dinner one night. I'm not really sure what half of what I attempted to eat that night was.
The weirdest thing that sticks out in my mind was this sort of ball shaped thing. It was yellowish in color, but had the texture of a wet sponge sorta. I tired one bite and that was more than enough. I still have no idea what that was.
How the people who bring us bratwurst managed to come up with that food item I will never understand.
