German sausages just got better. Or so they say. If variety is really the spice of life then the variety of new sausages available at a good Wurst stand in Germany should be making everybody happy.
The new chilli-honey Wurst is at least something we can imagine, but the kiwi fruit Wurst that also includes maraschino cherries and pineapple pieces seems to be taking things a bit far. Lemon and aloe vera are other new ingredients. We're not sure if these sausages are to our taste, but they certainly add novelty value to the average German meal.

The Slavs are
marching! Venerable cataloguer and tracker of all things Slavic in the city,
Slavs of New York! is planning to, uh, expand the franchise by covering Slavic events in other cities. First on the list are Pittsburgh and Atlantic City. We think those are good steps, though we'll be the first to admit we have no idea about Slavic goings on in Atlantic City.
Still, we're surprised their not doing Chicago first. Is it too Polish oriented? We know that people jokingly refer to it as the second largest Polish city after Warsaw, so it certainly makes sense to us. Covering the sausage alone would take ages, but we're biased towards pork products and/or byproduct ourselves. We're curious to see what develops.
