I love traveling on the trains here in Europe, and though they aren't as punctual as I would have expected, I like the amenities you'll find on a relatively ordinary train in Germany.
One of those amenities may seem like a throwback to annother era--the printed menu. It's a nod to days of yore, perhaps, but fascinating both to the hungry passenger and the captive audience.
The photo at right comes directly from my menu and shows a few of the offerings on a train I took today. Each main course was served with a drink and came to 10.60 euros. Train prices are high, so whenever I can, I take my own sandwiches--drinks too. Mr. Bingley, take note!
But you certainly can't fault the selection on board, everything from Italian pasta to American chili (both very popular here in Germany) as well as traditional Germany sausages with potato salad (heavy) and a big green salad with chicken breast (light).
Beverages run the gamut from soda to beer to coffee, and water, (yes, you must pay for water), is only slightly less expensive than a Pils.
If none of the main courses appeal, there are sweets to tempt as well. Cake and coffee is a tradition here in Germany, especially on Sundays, but any other day too if there is time. And on the train, there's always plenty of that.
