Two Pasta-Nations: On Korean-Italian Fusion

2024-09-27T12:37:20+01:00

Yes, Korean-Italian Fusion is a thing. At least, when it comes to pasta. Korea is just like Japan and China a country with an old noodle tradition, older than the Italian use of pasta. It's a tradition of long noodles. This might explain, why Korean supermarkets only offer spaghetti from Italy. And most of the [...]

With the cold season approaching, you might think it's too late for a post on white wine. Well, it's not. Believe me, if you make it to Constance in autumn, some warm and sunny afternoons will wait for you. So, there is still time for a chilled Riesling: Germany's most famous wine. And the ones [...]

Der Blaue Engel – Cocktails and Philosophy

2024-09-27T12:37:20+01:00

The old town of Constance is full of old school wine places. You'll find a somewhat mixed crowd with tendency to silver hair drinking local wines from the early afternoon on. It gives the town a flair, that is best described with the unique German word gemuetlich (cozy, but that's not really it). Though I [...]

Best Sushi in Town – Tatsumi

2024-09-27T12:37:20+01:00

The Sushi Bar Tatsumi in Konstanz literally saved my life. I arrived in a dark winter night in the small beautiful town Constance. It is tugged away between the Lake Constance and Switzerland. In the German geography it resembles an appendix, because it is the far southwest end of the country. But it has the [...]

Beach finds: Green Caviar

2024-09-27T12:37:20+01:00

There are funny things you can find at the beach. In my case it was green caviar, a type of algae also known as sea grapes. It happened on a tiny island called Guam right next to the Philippine island of Siargao. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found a green algae sphere large [...]
