So, just back from two days in Munich visiting the huge ISPO trade fair, meeting Burton and checking out Jonas’s forthcoming Red Flag fair. The venue for Red Flag is an old tram shed, which was suitably industrial but with facilities. We checked the venue out during the German GQ awards which was hilarious (see images on his blog)! So many random German brands winning the awards such as the award to Best New Comer ‘ Scapegoat’. We obviously rechristened the brand Skate goat and will be releasing our own range of hard goods and T-shirts this summer! ‘What better place to be than Germany when you have a sausage obsession! Went to a fantastic beer hall with Jonas and Johanna and had a serious ‘death by meat’ session (Not Johanna, as she doesn’t eat cute animals). Liver dumplings, in soup, suckling pig braised in dark beer with cabbage salad and dumpling. Jonas ordered a selection of sausage, the big red and smaller pork sausages with sauerkraut which we fantastically meaty and delicious as well as large glasses of local beer. Other than this great dinner, the rest of the eating has been disappointing, a huge bratwurst in a baguette at the trade show and dull airport sandwiches and coffee for insane prices. As ever i’m inspired by soups and I saw Hugh Fearney Whittingstall had some great soup recipes on the guardian site, so maybe this weekend i’ll give them a go. I noticed this week that Fredrik, as well as blogging pictures of his lunch and dinner has just made Hanna’s new video. Seems everyone has started a blog these days check out Stina’s blog at Elle. And finally as I am on a death by meat theme ‘ I’ll have the Lobster Thermador aux Crevettes in the Mournay sauce garnished with Truffle pate served in the Provencal style with fried egg on top and Spam! Copenhagen tomorrow, looking forward to LeLe.
