At one point you could buy a bottle of Pschitt in France. And I'm sure the slogan was something like "le vrai goût de Pschitt". Let's not forget the popular Swedish chocolate bar - Plopp. Not to mention the former French eatery chain combining Crepes and Pizza: ‘Crep ‘n Pizz’. This caused huge amusement to my children when they were 12 or 13. |

There's always a queue for Zizzi  There is a small chain of restaurants in North London called Stasi.
I've no idea what they serve but I strongly suspect it isn't sausages and sauerkraut.
I bet they know what you're going to order. |

I bet they know what you're going to order. Of course they do, everything else on the menu won't be available. I remember the potato soup in Meißen in 1988, it was the only soup available. First Day - it was thick and delicious with herbs, little sausages and gherkins Second Day - it was a bit less thick and there were no little sausages but there were a few fragments of Speck Third Day - again a bit thinner, no Sausages, no Speck, and only slices of gherkin Fourth day - no gherkin and getting distinctly watery Fifth day - very watery Sixth day - back to the first day. The place went from three mains to one over the same period. However, you could get herring in a bun in the Marktplatz. |

I purchased the nipper's first bike from Halfords adjacent to Meole Brace Park and Ride a few years back.
There is a bloody good Whisky shop on Wylye Cop btw, although it is "almost" as cheaper flying to Shetland to buy the gin there than from "there".
