Germany trips - 26th day 20071019 - Franconian suckling pig

There was a team dinner on Friday night. We went to a place called Gasthaus zum Wiesental. It has been there since 1920.

They serve Franconian suckling pig, which is basically roast piglet. Their piglet is bigger than the 乳豬 in HK, and they don't have cherries or red light bulbs in their eye sockets, but they do have a lemon in their mouths... :P

The suckiling pig was served with potato dumpings in the picture, one piece per person and I couldn't finish even 1/4 of it. The dumpling is all potato but its texture is like our sticky rice. there are pieces of croutons inside the dumpling. It doesn't not have much taste itself and gotta dip in gravy to add flavour.

I prefer the skin of our 乳豬 as it's crispier, however, the meat of this franconian cousin is exceptionally tender... yummy!!!
