Continental Christmas Market

[Franko]

Think they're starting to rip the ass out of it a bit.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what the paella did to me.

Well it's that time of year again, Market coming from this Friday 19th November until Monday 19th December, lovely jubbely, was needing to restock the "meats"

Always loved the market when it comes at christmas, burgers at the various stalls are top notch and remember Laverys was good spot last year.  Belfast in general at the wkend coming up to christmas always has a great atmosphere about the town and the talent doesnt be too bad either

The German sausage stand has overtaken the burger stall for me since last year. Had a lovely hotdog with tobacco onions and this curry ketchup. I know the curry ketchup sounds rank and I only put it on by accident but it was brilliant.

The strawberry beer on the other hand, not good. Nice for the first sup, by the end of the pint I was sick of it.

Suppose I may start saving the pennies now for my visit to it.

Ich liebe diesen Märkten. Bratwürste sind die Bienen Knie. Ich liebe deutsches Bier. Versuchen Sie, den Rauch Bier, wenn Sie es finden können.

Unschlagbar Stehen in der Kälte schlürfen Glühwein in einer mondhellen Nacht im Dezember.

I was curious and had the time.  What did we do before the Google translate button?

I love these markets. Sausages are the bees knees. I love German beer. Try the smoked beer, if you can find it. Unbeatably standing in the cold sipping mulled wine on a moonlit night in December.

There was one last year too, stood in the queue (not long mind you) to hear a Santa that supported Ardoyne Kickhams talk to my nephew about St Enda's. 
It was for charity, hope it continues to be the same this year.
