The topic for week 5 in Sari’s Projekt 52:

My addictions!

Since I didn’t necessarily want to shoot chocolate and computer/internet, for the expectation that this might occur several times isn’t that far-fetched, I thought I’ll take this:

Week 5: My addictions

Well, it’s no addiction in the stricter sense, but if I’d have to do without Leberkäse for a week, it wouldn’t be nice either…

The photo shows a local butcher’s specialty during carnival time, “Metzgerkrapfen” (Krapfen = Berliner = bismarck = …), containing a little sweet mustard (which I didn’t catch when cutting) and nice spices on top.

At the biggest volksfest of the world, the Oktoberfest in Munich (official site), not much can be seen of the meadow (German: “Wiese”) of the Theresienwiese, only wide asphaltic paths – which is good, since no-one would like to walk in the mud when it’s raining – and in the areas in between (or rather, only those on the edge), the grass is covered, of course, it’s only peeking out in a few spaces (and, well, some weed is being smoked, I assume).

With great late summer weather with 26°C (79°F) – it will be over 10°C (18°F) less tomorrow – there were again a lot of people there; of course not as much as on the weekend with 1 million visitors, 500,000 liters of beer and 11 oxen, but it’s said to have been 100,000 this afternoon. Didn’t count them myself, though, and I don’t know how many ghosts have been beaten up today…

I also found a Maßkrug (stein) for 5.50 € – unfortunately, it was empty and only 6 cm high, and not in a marquee but at a souvenir shop.
