No insult intended to adventures available at Alpine Village. Having a good meal and shopping for exotic food products at their grocery store are pleasant experiences as opposed to a lone gunman showing up and spraying the diners with an AK47. Unlikely," you say. "Quite mad," murmur others.
Be that as it may ... their lunch menu (not surprisingly) is different from the dinner menu. I had to substitute "Stroganoff Roti" which is steak tips in Stroganoff sauce served over potato pancakes. Sides include red cabbage so naturally that's what I ordered. It looked good to Richie so he ordered the same thing. "D" had his beloved brats with sauerkraut and fresh vegetables. We ate well and the portions are so large, that I will be eating well again tonight.
As promised, we hit the grocery store next where we got a half pound of Belgium bacon ($6)
and four boxes of pralines with cherry brandy, on sale for $2 a box of 12. Richie hit the bakery for an immense slice of Black Forest cake and I chimed in for something called a Nusserbaun, if memory serves. It looked like a balaclava that had been dipped in chocolate.. Alas, it was yellow cake with a crumbled top dipped in chocolate.
All in all, we had a lovely time. I recommend the Stroganoff Roti, in case you are planning a visit. Wait till the Christmas season for the boxes of candy with a variety of liqueurs. All cherry gets boring. You'll pay more - I seem to remember $12/box - but they're more interesting.
