Ode to a Cheese Saussage

It was late,
and I had not ate.
The opera was long, so long,
and I didn't understand a song.
So as we walked down the street,
I searched for a treat,
when Vanja suggested a Käsekrainer.

'A Käsekrainer?' I questioned,
never having heard of such a suggestion.
'It is so yummy' Vanja said,
'without a doubt within my head!'
And so I agreed to try this thing,
whose praise Vanja did sing.
And so I ordered a Käsekrainer.

The first thing the old man did,
from inside his roadside rig,
was cut off the end of a bun,
which he kept when this was done,
and placed the bun on a rod,
to create within it a sort of pod.
This is how it started, my Käsekrainer.

Next he chose a wurst,
although, really it was just the first,
and he placed this inside the hole,
with a squirt of ketchup for the soul.
The piece of cut bun was added back,
and I was handed it all in a nap(kin).
My first Käsekrainer.

The first bite was devine,
I couldn't believe it was mine.
The pork juices and cheese,
mixed to bring a smile of please.
I savoured each bite,
of my bread, pork, and cheese delight.
And soon it was gone, my first Käsekrainer.

    Saussage would sound good right about now. Great to hear that everything is going so awesome for ya. London sounded like it was tons-o-fun, I had a little trip myself to new Sudbury the other day, I figure it's around the same ball park as London...or not...anywho keep up the good work! I will hang an ornament on our christmas tree here in my house, and by christmas tree I mean probably a lead pole I find in the street, same dif.

    Love you!

    Amanda!
    You should be a food critic, who needs to watch the food network when I've got your blogs to read?? Sometimes when I come home from the bar I like to try and make my own cheese delicacies. Maybe next pub nite I'll try to make a K..sausage of my own..
