On a cold winter evening, few dining experiences can be as reassuring as a hearty German repast.
Most patrons leave guilt at the door.
For them, there are fine starters of goulash soup, lentil soup, and potato pancake, which may also be ordered as a main-course side dish. A chunk of salmon coated with mashed potatoes and then browned was a successful foray into seafood. Surround your choice with side dishes including chopped red cabbage, bread dumplings, spaetzle, bread pudding, and sauerkraut. To complete your calorie cornucopia, try the German chocolate cake made with cocoa, coconut, and walnuts, or the king-size portion of apple strudel. 2001 by Washington Magazine Inc.
