First the barometric pressure migraines<\/a>, then the pollen<\/a>, then the barometric pressure migraines *and* the pollen. April is indeed the cruelest month<\/a>.

I complain, therefor I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I mentioned the pollen? Mr Radish’s new work vehicle.

Cream of Hopfenspargel<\/em> Soup, from Ostermeiers<\/a> in G\u00fctlsdorf.

“What is Hopfenspargel<\/em>, Radish?” Roots of the hops vines–as I understand it, extra roots are removed so the vines put more energy into building the cones<\/a> than into spreading out underground. Harvesting the roots, instead of just chopping around the vines, is extremely labor-intensive, and they are priced accordingly. Taking the Regional and Seasona<\/a>l to the extreme, they’re only available for 2-3 weeks in spring, and generally only in and around the Hallertau<\/a> (you can buy them in Munich<\/a> for twice the local rate). So rare, it hasn’t made the Gastro Obscura<\/a>, which delights me somehow.

I thought it tasted more like Schwarzwurzel<\/em> than Spargel<\/em>, and I’m not sure the taste is worth the retail expenditure, but if I was a hops farmer, I would be getting the grandkids to spend a couple extra hours digging in the dirt with me for the once-a-year exclusive experience and\/or to earn some extra pocket money from urban Schickimickis<\/em>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went to a presentation<\/a> up at the ag\/forestry school about bears in Europe (yeah, this has been becoming a thing).. Afterwards we were let into the collection of taxidermized local animals, which was also extremely interesting.
