Christmas Market in Saarburg/Germany
« Reply #-1 on: December 02, 2012, 07:25:57 AM »
Yesterday my BBQ team Grilling & Chilling were engaged for cooking fingerfood on the christmas market in Saarburg, a small town, where I got my office.

We cooked:

  • Wraps with bratwurst, sauerkraut and Gruyère cheese with mustard sauce.
  • crostini with small slices of striploin steak and two variations of sauce (hazelnut persil pesto and horseradish mustard cream)
  • pulled pork with cole slaw and mustard sauce

Fortunatelly we had very much to cook. The other side of the medal is that I unfortunatelly don't have very much pictures of the event, even less of our food - I'm so sorry. Many thanks to a friend who shot most of the pics.

First of all here are some pics of the pulled pork I prepared one day before on my WSM. I cooked 6 pork chucks, smoked with hickory and cherry wood.







Here are the pictures of the event on the christmas market. We were cooking on a BBQ Scout offset, a Louisiana CS-450 pelletsmoker, a Weber kettle and a Cobb grill.

WC,
You're making me hungry, again!!  I will bet that a fair amount of Glühwein was also consumed.  It looked kind of cold out there.

My wife and I did a Christmas Market river cruise several years ago.  Had a ball!!  Lots of good food and busy, busy markets.  I became a fan of Glühwein while walking around the various markets.  Warms you right up!

We had something similar, like a hot caipirinha. But honesty, I was glad to get some cold beers in the afternoon from a restaurant in our neighborhood, although it was quite cold on the Christmas Market.

No, Saarburg is too small to be attractive for American tourists, because there are bigger cities with bigger and even famous Christmas Markets around here. And they usually don't cook any BBQ on these markets at all. ;)

I lived in Germany for several years and every now and then I really, really crave a real bratwurst.  Yours look delicious!

Great looking food and your team really seems to be enoying themselves! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

BTW - a "hot" caipirinha?

Sorry, but I tend to way overthink things. I noticed your BBQ banner is in English, Do most people speak/read english in Germany?
