Meatloaf
The meatloaf that I just couldn't bear to eat. It looks like a piece of challah bread made from bologna, no?

Sent back the meatloaf
Sent back the meatloaf, and asked for some pretzels and fried potatoes to substitute. Right on, carbohydrates.

John's dessert
John's dessert was a flambe of apple strudle cakes. Our waiter Franz (or was it Hans?) lit it on fire right before serving.

New hat
It was very cold in Munich, and John needed a hat that wasn't his fleece snowhat. This city green courduroy fedora had just enough German charm.
