Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> very filling meal. The garlic sauce ranged from wimpy to
 NB> industrial  RH>> strength, depending on where you got the doner.
 NB>  NB>> So there was some variation over there, too, then...

 RH> Yes, mostly in the garlic sauce and the use (or non use) of ajvar (an
 RH> eggplant based sauce). Filling was always pretty much the same
 RH> otherwise.

 NB> They do sound really good...  :)  Hopefully the ones you spotted
 NB> locally will come closer to what you remember from Germany...  :)

So far we've not been back to get any of those pitas. First time we had
doners from that place they were really good. Second time they were not
nearly as good, not tried them a 3rd time.


 RH> A friend brought some back when he did a TDY (temporary duty) trip
 RH> over there but I've not seen any in years. If you don't know what a

 NB> Nobody since to task with the errand... ;)

Germany isn't the hot spot for assignments like it used to be. Also, now
that we're out of the military and away from that environment, we don't
have the connections we used to.


 RH> kinder eir (children's eggs) is, it's a chocolate (milk, with a coating
 RH> of white inside) egg with a plastic egg in the middle. The plastic egg
 RH> has a small toy or game, some of them use the plastic egg as part of
 RH> the toy/game. They started out being metal and wood toys (I've got a
 RH> mini bundt pan) but gradually went to more plastic and paper. If you
 RH> were lucky, you could get a set of something from various eggs; we got
 RH> 2 of the 3 kittens from the Disney "Aristocats" movie and a few other
 RH> pieces of different sets. If we were to go over there now I'd pick
 up a RH> few for our grand kids so they could experience a bit of their
 parents RH> childhood delights.

 NB> As long as they still are making them.  They remind me somewhat of the
 NB> British "poppers" or "crackers"...  a tissue-wrapped tube that you
 NB> pull the ends of to make a noise and then you open up to see what
 NB> treasures
 NB> await inside.  I've seen them once in a while in British import
 NB> shops...

I've seen them too. Usually they have a funny hat and some sort of treat
in them. Lands' End catalog usually carries them in their holiday
issues.
