Rostwürst mit Pommes und Bier

Ah the Imbußstand! Imbuß is German for good food. The Rostwürst, a type of Bratwürst, is, like most meat in Germany, 100% pork. Notice how the Brötchen, or Weck as Saarlanders call it, doesn't fit the shape of the sausage at all. That's because it's not really meant to be eaten, it's just there so that you don't get your fingers messy. In fact, most Imbußstands have a little machine that will slice the sausage into bite-size morsels (kleingeschneidet, those Germans have a word for everything) which they then serve in a little paper bowl with a wooden fork thus obviating the need for the Weck at all. Few take advantage of this service, however, finding it to be a bit, oh dear, weckless. The Pommes (Germans are loathe to name anything after the French, though mispronouncing French words is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged) are perhaps a little undercooked. This is compensated for by the fact that they are fried in lard; none of that sissy vegetable oil here! The beer, Urpils, is a bier made locally in Saarland. As the name says, it is a pils, so it is nothing really remarkable. The first one of the day though tastes wonderful and by the time you drink the last one of the evening, you've stopped caring.
