As Pat and Marie rambled through Germany, he made it his mission to sample every variety of local beer and sausage he came across, and then offered an assessment of each in his journal. In Munich, he raved about the spicy Bratwurst and reacted favorably to a Schweinwurst, but upon having his first taste of an almost raw Weisswurst, he observed, “The texture was soft and taste not particularly noteworthy…. Before I even left the table my stomach was screaming. Marie had to carry my ass back to our room.”
