Germans-- Cheating and ripping off other people's ideas since 179 AD.

Why do you think Germany's most-consumed beer is called pilsner?


Are there any towns in Germany named Pilsner, or Pilsn, or Pilzn, or Plzen?

Or, is that town actually somewhere else?  Hint-- this is not a map of Germany.

Also, Germans have added fruit to beer for centuries, so even if you want to try to hang your hat on that one, well....

Pilsner's were made in the early 1800s hardly new.And it was actually a lighter version of lager which started where? You bloviating Bohemian. And the Germans just started making Helles Lager in response - it was a competive market before Bud/Miller,Molsons/Labatt.And it doesn't change the fact the Belgians weren't brewing first.So much for "fruits" of your research :D.Oh and New Mexico has much better chili than Texas

We had lunch with our guests at the botanical garden and they charged $7 for a CAN of Classic City Lager (which is OK beer, but a six pack in the store is $8).

Beer/wine/liquor markups at restaurants are crazy.  Food margins are very thin, so that's typically where they make it up.  This is nothing new but it has definitely escalated in recent years.

Indeed, I was in the biz, slightly a while back.  Wine prices in France are very reasonable.

Yes they are.  They seem to view it as a table necessity that should be available to all regardless of means.  Gotta love the French... :)

For the three months I was living/working in Nantes, I ate quite a few meals at the hotel, especially on weekdays because often I was too tired to go out and find a restaurant.  After the first few weeks, the regular bartender Philippe, started inviting me to eat with the hotel staff.  They always ate early (7 or so) in the main dining room, before any guests would come down to eat.  So a couple of times per week, I'd eat with them.  And because they were comp meals for the staff, served family style, Philippe never charged me.  He claimed he had no way to do it, no code for it, but I think he just didn't want to bother. 

But what I COULD do, what he COULD charge me for, was wine.  So I always ordered a few bottles of whatever the staff told me they wanted that day.  And even their best wines were priced reasonably enough that I could buy several bottles and still be within my corporate per diem meal limits.  They started to really look forward to the days I'd eat with them, and I did, too. :)
