Sometimes things don’t pan out as one planned, particularly when traveling.
One evening, during our short stay in Berlin, we visited a restaurant that had been recommended.
The ambiance of the place was very friendly, the staff was helpful, but the portions were huge!
There were four of us and we were unaware of the size of the portions when we ordered. I picked calves liver with apple source for a main, and asked for a small Caesar salad, as a ‘side salad’.
My wife, and our friends, ordered a schnitzel each, and the same small salad. I also ordered a small plate of chips (french fries) on the side, to go with the liver. Nobody else want chips.
The main courses arrived on larger than normal plates, and my wife’s schnitzel, as well as our friend’s schnitzels, were so large that they hung over the side of their plates. My calve’s liver was just as large – they must have used a steam roller to get it so large, or the calf, from which the liver came, was as big as a bus!
The bowl of chips was large enough for four adults, and the ‘small side salad’ would have been a main course on its own, and even then I would have asked for a doggy bag for the remains.
A small side salad for myself, and another for my wife.
I hate to think what we would have received if we just ordered a simple salad as a main course. . . . .
