The menu here was in German too. It is really the most unattractive language for foodstuffs. If you wanted whipped cream on you coffee in much of the German-speaking world, you order it mit Schlag. Now, does that sound like a frothy and delicious pick-me-up, or does that sound like the sort of thing smokers bring up first thing in the morning?
