Germany, how exactly does the system for those hire bicycles in the city work, and what exactly are those?

Question

white things you can buy from markets can't remember what they were called started with s

also, what is that dish where its bread, onions and some sort of raw mince

Answer 1

I think what you mean is called 'Frikadellen' in Germany or in the Berlin area 'Buletten'. In our family we call them meatballs although they are really more like burgers.

You buy one or two pound of minced meat, if possible a pound each of pork and beef.

Mix it together with a few days old buns (not sweet) which beforehand have been soaked in cold water and pressed out dry with your hands. Take two or three buns. Then add three or four raw eggs, finely chopped onions, pepper and salt. Mix it all together with you hands, until you have an even dough of meat. Form the Frikadelle by taking a handfull out of your bowl, roll it, flatten it, then fry (not deep fry) in a frying pan. To be eaten with boiled potatoes and veg, notice there will be no gravy. Equally good with chips of course, or even cold in a sandwich, sliced into two or three slices with some mustard, pickle or horse radish.

I guess the white vegetable 'stick' you are talking about will be asparagus, the white variety being the more popular one in Germany rather than the green.

Asparagus you can buy in England too, you peel the outer skin off, bring some water to the boil, add a little salt and sugar, also the rind of a bio lemon. Boil the asparagus for about ten minutes, prepare a white sauce, preferably hollandaise, which is rather complicated to make, but you can buy it ready made too, and it is delicious. Eat with boiled potatoes, pork chop or steak - in Germany traditionally eaten with smoked ham.

Don't know anything about hire bikes, sorry.

White things? Snowballs? Sugar? (you couldn't narrow it down a bit could you?)

Answer 3

We have two sorts of mincend meat that we eat on bread raw.

1) Beafsteakhack (tartar)

and

2) Mett (pork meat) Mett is that meat beeing in Mettwurst, but it is not dried and possibly smoked.
