You'd not be the first person to tell me this.

What's so great about Segmüller?

Possibly its because they're both Continental

Great Britain & Ireland - 3 stars: 4, 2 stars: 14, 1 star: 122
Germany - 3 stars: 9, 2 stars: 23, 1 star: 205

Slightly out of date as Germany have recently received more stars...

Ah, this is pea soup with smoked sausage, a true Saxon delicacy, but here in the Neanderthaland it's called 'Snert', and the sausage is cut up into smaller pieces; it is then accompanied by rye bread and smoked ham; a very warming treat after a long winter walk or bike ride (or skating, for that matter).

Personally I like to stir some Worcestershire sauce into it.

Aarrggggh (dribbling)
