i still lose it every time i see this post because someone let a fucking goose into their house just because tumblr said to and if that doesn’t perfectly define all of our experiences on this shitty excuse for a website i dont know what does
everyone sharing their twitters and other social media in case of this website experiencing an all-out collapse. not me. use the information you’ve learned about me to track me down. piece together the cryptic clues i have left throughout my blog over the years in preparation of this day to decipher the location of our future meeting. i’ll be waiting
This is the beginning of my Strasbourg France masterpost for my friend @simonalkenmayer, who, as we may know, claims to have lived there in 1518.
I did my best to try and find things from his story, as well as document the lay of the land, the food, and things I thought might make him happy.
More photos of the buildings and town. Anything look familiar @simonalkenmayer ?
I thought this one might have special significance for you @simonalkenmayer since I somehow managed to find the street of shoemakers and the site of the original cobbler’s guild. That last photo is the building, which I think is original, though it’s probably been updated.
Now let’s do some food, right @simonalkenmayer ? That’s what we care about, yeah?
Ohhhh look at all that cheese. now I have to have cheese. What is the square thing? is that some jellied thing?
Ok so these pics are um let me scroll.
Fish, this really cool crab cake thing with a gelatin coating and spices and it was amazing, lobster two ways with pasta, the square thing is scallops over this thing i don’t know what was, with a sweet lemon sauce that was fucking killer, bread and butter, some bites, another fish thing, some quinoa salad which was tasty, a lemon tart and yeah a shit ton of cheese.
Those descriptions are not satisfactory! “Fucking killer” is not a tasting note, unless you eat killers, which I do, so you are confusing me terribly.

A few more for aesthetic
My husband has some amazing shots too. If you want me to post them I can. Well @simonalkenmayer ? Are you proud of me? I even found the site of the grain market and the horse fair. It was wild walking around, because I’ve read that story “The Red Shoes of Strasbourg” so many times that I felt like I’d already been there. I even saw a gang of girls wearing matching red galoshes. Things have changed, huh?
I’m curious to see what you think.
I am amazed and very proud of you. I’m very happy to have inspired you to go there. It seems that the place has truly held up. I’m also glad you ate well and enjoyed yourself.
Wonderful. Simply an incredible journey. Much of it is recognizable to me, though a few things I think were either going up when I left or went up just after me. I don’t recognize some of the buildings, but honestly…that was 500 years ago. I can’t even remember my name half the time, anymore. And if I’ve seen one timber frame, I’ve seen thousands.
Oh and, “that stew thing” I told you to eat is called Charcroute. and it is a go-to comfort food of mine. Did you like it?
What about drinks? Did you drink?
Awesome! I’m really glad!
Have a sausage smiley face.
Yeah we had so many drinks. I had some great beers made locally. My favorite was a brewery called Meteor. Had great Alsace wines. Some Riesling, uh, oh and I tried something called gluehwein? Said like “glue wine” which I was not okay with, but it’s actually fucking stellar. Probably one of the tastiest things I’ve ever drink.
Seriously.
Hahahaha…
Oh but gluehwein is absolutely delicious! It’s essentially a mulled wine beverage. Didn’t you have mulled wine in England?
I’m looking up that brewer, because it seems to me I may know why it has the name “meteor”…
I’d bet my life that it’s named for the Einsisheim meteor of 1492. That omen was hot on everyone’s tongue for about 40 years. Harbinger of my heart, it was. Made me feel proper ominous, skulking through the streets eating corpses and whatnot, though I have to say, most were too emaciated to be of much sustenance. Had to leave the city and go out into the country to get any decent meals.
Lol your life.
I have no idea what to think about you, hobgoblin. For real. You crack me up.
I’m telling you. There was longstanding famine. They were skinny and diseased. When the rebels of the Bundschue ran to the Black Forest, i was jealous as all hell, because it meant my overlarge and obnoxious cousin was getting a better meal than I. Then it turned out they didn’t die, and I remember thinking to myself, “That doesn’t seem right, I’d have eviscerated them inside a day.” So I suppose my cousin was either not a humanitarian, or he was actually a true humanitarian.
Yes. Precisely. This “It’s not happening so we don’t have to ever be careful that it won’t” attitude is preposterous. It’s like saying “Oh, I haven’t ever been hit by a car, so it’s probably fine to walk in the middle of the street, right?”
