I buy the Soreen knock-off, "So Malty", at Aldi for 99p a block.

It's my regular breakfast!

I like malt loaf, slathered in thick butter! I don't buy it - it would be carnage

Same here, more butter than malt loaf so I daren’t buy it

Joe texted me earlier, he’s in a small town in Germany for work and he’s on his own.
He didn’t do German at school and texted me to say he was in a restaurant and no one spoke English so he wasn’t sure what he’d ordered

The next text said “think I might have bought the actual table”

Told him I couldn’t help him with food, all I can remember is how to say I’ve got a headache and to ask for painkillers

[saundra]

Made me laugh jo he probably brought breakfast dinner and tea poor fella
Save him some malt loaf I haven't had any for. Year's so will now have to buy one and some butter sigh

[Workingman]

Jo, "Jaegerschnitzel mit pommes frites, bitte" is all he needs to be well fed... Oh, "und ein kalt pilsner, auch. Danke".

He'll survive.

Or he could try for a currywurst and a Dortmunder Union (strong beer) but he might need your headache and painkiller help with that choice.

If he's really adventurous he could get Schweinebraten - pork in a thick gravy with veg, or for a snack in the street some Kartoffelpuffer - potato and egg pancakes with a topping of choice. Everywhere has them.

Forget MacD and KFC, go to a schnellimbiss.

Or he could just put a translation app on his phone Sorry Frank, couldn’t resist

Jo, I hope he has a brilliant time, what part of Germany is he in? My cousin Zoe is in Sulingen, in the North.

[JoM]

Frank I told him to just look for bier, schnitzel or burger and he’d be grand
He ended up with a burger and chips

Kaz, neither of us thought of that, probably because it’s not something we’ve ever needed
He’s in a town called Darmstadt, just south of Frankfurt.
Apparently the company have a training academy there but he’s the only one in it this week, he said that thankfully everyone he’s met speaks good English.
