People keep telling me that a great way to improve my German is by watching T.V. The problem is, German T.V. is generally pretty terrible. I can't stand watching English-language programming that has been dubbed over in German and original German programming seems like low-budget soap operas. Recently I found one German program that I not only can sit through, but that I actually enjoy.
Das Perfekete Dinner (The Perfect Dinner) is a reality cooking show. In it five contestants have to host a dinner party, with each person cooking on a different day. The contestants then get to rate each dinner – from the taste of the food, to the decor, to how long they had to wait for dessert.
Even though I only understand a few words, I love to see the people chatting so nicely during the dinner . . . then give their comments in private.
About Me
- Erin
- Ridgewood, NJ, United States
- In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
A Southern Something
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.
