Daily Photo: Zum Haxnwirt

pictures While in Germany, I wanted to enjoy some of that Bavarian culture we know from Oktoberfest. At Zum Haxnwirt, it's all about the beer and huge hunks of pork.

I sense wild boars were captured on the streets of Berlin and baked into schweinshaxe for my benefit. The knuckle of pork on my plate was absolutely massive. I think I ate this guy.

Oh... and they sold these out of a vending machine.

Mike, I was at that place when I did the european backpacking thing in 1991. I left my umbrella there. Please have a look for it. I think it's somewhere near the back, by the bathrooms.

Appreciate it.

When I was much younger cigarettes used to be sold out of vending machines here too. Bad idea.

I too remember the cigarette vending machines, but it's been a while...

I think they disappeared in the late 80s.

I always think of huge mugs of beer and pork sausages when I think of Octoberfest or Germany. Hmmm, I need to go there someday.
Nice pig!

The cigarette machines disappeared in the 90s. I think around the same time the 15-pack of cigarettes were pulled.
