I have posted quite a few pictures of food. One that I have not yet posted but will is of this food called . And yes there is a reason that the W is in parenthesis. What it basically is, is blood wurst cooked in a couple of other ingredients, that when mixed with the other ingredients and cooked, the meet actually curdles and creates lumps. I will post the picture later, but it looks disgusting and tastes disgusting as well. I actually got it from somebody else at the table that couldn´t finish it because she thought it was disgusting, and I couldn´t finish it either because it did not please my appetite.
As I kind of implied before, there are two nicknames the students here give that plate. The first nickname is derived from taking the w in the parenthesis out of the word and thus giving it, what I think, could be a pretty appropriate nickname for that meal. Sch(w)eisswurste is the word again. And to help you with that nickname, the first part of the dish without the w is a German cuss word, and the second part of the word is a type of sausage. I was told that the students at the Universität Technische would oftenly cross out that first w.
The second nickname is kind of find but disgusting. The second nickname is "tote OMA" which basically means dead grandmother. I forget if this nickname what just spread through word of mouth or was written on the menus that contained the name of the dish.
I can't wait to see the photo! Tote Oma is the local name for it, but it would never appear on a menu (for obvious reasons). It's kind of like calling creamed beef on toast "sh** on a shingle." Both are totally inappropriate (and I apologize if I offended), never appear on menus, but everyone knows what they mean.
