The
hardest
part
when
reviewing
a
restaurant
is
that
you
need
a
valued
unit
of
measure
in
order
to
know
if
anything
is
good.
So,
to
what
can
you
truly
compare
German
food
?
I
pondered
this
question
over
my
first
five
beers
in
Bonnsch.
They
were
all
excellent.
The
lighter
beer
is
sweet
like
a
summer
garden.
Its
darker
cousin
exudes
a
hoppy
and
deeply
bitter
autumnal
tang.
Both
were
a
resounding
success
and
brewed
on
the
premises.
Absolutely
world
class.
Then
dinner
arrived.
Ordered
at
random
from
a
paper
menu
only
available
in
German.
I
was
sitting
in
the
cellar
where
no
internet
connection
or
google
translation
would
come
to
my
rescue.
Clearly,
a
measure
of
courage
was
required.
My
party
and
I
tucked
in.
Sausage,
chips
and
curry
sauce
are
a
delicacy,
apparently.
To
me,
they
are
a
lazy
takeaway;
I
obviously
know
nothing.
Beef
with
gravy
and
chips,
also
a
safe
staple
until
you
find
the
gravy
is
sweet
and
sprinkled
with
raisins
and
flaked
almonds.
Bizarre.
Schnitzel
might
just
be
fried
meat
over
which
someone
has
driven
their
Mercedes
before
laddling
mushroom
sauce
over
it.
Some
plates
came
with
soggy
veg.
Yes,
but
why?
German
food
is
confusing
and
must
be
decoded.
I
decided
four
more
beers
were
required.
Even
if
you
can’t
make
head
nor
tail
of
what
you
have
ordered
the
food
is
lovely
in
Bonnsch.
It’s
well
presented
and
well
executed;
the
beef
was
tender,
the
sausages
were
excellent,
and
all
of
it
was
properly
seasoned
and
made
with
a
palpable
sense
of
pride.
I
have
been
assured
that
this
is
where
all
the
tourists
go,
and
so
they
should!
Be
a
tourist
and
you
will
have
fun
here,
and
you
can
spend
hours
trying
to
work
out
that
German
food
is
what
children
create
when
you
give
them
sweet
ingredients
instead
of
crayons,
and
who
wouldn’t
love
a
plate
of
that?
