"Our host was my great friend Abboudi who has made this delightful part of the world his home. For our first night out in what proved to be a wonderful go go few days he chose the Kistlerwirt not far from his base. His small...village is simply idyllic with the most beautiful small church I have been privileged to visit, so lovely it will remain a secret. The Kistlerwirt is a small hotel, bar with a locals' table and a restaurant. To the dinner; a fresh wild garlic cream soup with croutons, just so fresh and divine, not too much cream and with small crunchy croutons. Next a large plate of locally cured ham with grated fresh horseradish and pickled vegetables. The ham was thinly sliced and so soft to eat. It had a wonderful taste of the country, Wow the horse radish cleared the nostrils as only Alpine air can do. To follow Mrs Mac chose Veal fillet in a cream sauce with green pasta, a good choice, whilst Abboudi and I enjoyed thickly sliced roast pork loin with great white lightly pickled cabbage, and fried kartoffel dumplings, they were not my ideal. This was our first evening of Bayern hospitality and we thoroughly enjoyed it."
