Yesterday evening, looking for a place to have a
quiet drink -
without the comforts of a television screaming
World Cup results at me from a shelf in some
corner, I saw a sign saying "Wild Woche" which
translates to 'Wild Week'.
Great, I thought - it's probably Table-Dancing or
something like that?
So I went in.
Looking around, I was relieved to see no signs of a
TV.
But neither could I see any form of entertainment.
When I sat down, I was asked what I wanted to
drink, while a menu was slid discreetly on to the
table in front of me.
I ordered a beer, still hoping to catch a glimpse
of the entertainment.
When I saw the title of the menu, my mistake dawned
on me.
There - on the front of the menu was repeated "Wild
Woche" with the picture of a boars head.
'Game Week'
A bit unusual for summer I thought - the game
season doesn't start until much later in the year,
but there in the menu were listed:
'Reh-Ragout' - Bits of Bambi!
'Hirsch-Ragout' - Bits of Bambi's Dad
In fact lots of various pieces of Bambi and his
Dad, served with cranberries and Sauerkraut and
things ...
... The Disney film flashed through my head and I
wasn't sure, I was hungry any more!
I looked in vain, for the boiled boars head, but
I'd decided I wasn't hungry anyway - I'd come in
for the entertainment.
I drank my beer and left.
