We found a little fest (there's always a fest in every German town...or so it seems). I decided to be brave and try Speck Plaumern Speis (or something like that). I didn't know what it was, but I knew the word for bacon (Speck) and was not frightened. Then, I was handed this stick. It was roasted plums, wrapped in bacon on a stick. I did my best to eat it, but the texture was just too much for me. I really don't understand what would prompt someone to combine plumbs and bacon...it boggles my mind. It might be awhile before I try another exotic dish. But then I went straight back to the ice cream shop and recovered quickly from my traumatizing snack.
