Let's Enter the Wiesn

(Wiesn is short for, "Theresens Wiese"
or Therese's Meadow where the Oktoberfest
was first held)

I wanted to go to the Keefer Tent first .......

The Käfer Weisn-Schänke Tent
Käfer= family of this tent (since 1972) Weisn =short for Oktoberfest, Schänke = Tavern

This is one of the Tents at the Oktoberfest that is not a tent but modeled after a Bavarian farmhouse.

I love all the wood walls and beams, with boughs of hops wrapped around them.

Dumpling Rolls
with Cabbage, Meat Filling

Also known as Kraut Crullers, Kraut Krapfen, Kraut Strudels

This is a great dish to take to a get together
and just a nice comfort food for Fall or Winter.

The meat filling is a combination of German and what I learned
from my Australian friends who are FAMOUS for their meat pies.

In Germany they call this
Kraut Krapfen

I just wanted to call this something different than
Kraut Krapfen,
because to many of my American friends,
it just doesn't have an
"appetizing ring" to it.
