I always love hearing a German accent. My mother, her sisters, parents and grandparents were born in Germany. I'm in my mid 60s now but this brings back so many good memories. They emigrated from Germany in early 1930s.

One of my favorites when we lived in Germany was zwiebelrostbraten. I miss the food and especially all the fabulous breads.

Thank you so much, I want them all. Whenever I holiday in Berlin I only eat German cuisine, I adore Rinderroulade mit Sauerkraut. I can’t wait to bring German cuisine back to my home in England. Even more so with lockdown.

Great to know about real German main dishes. Your accent is really nice, it has a rhythm to it which makes it soothing to hear.
