Nancy Nilgen @nancynilgen.bsky.social · 31/05/2025When a #Kölsch and an #Altbier share the same table, you know someone's risking a diplomatic incident. Cologne’s crisp Kölsch and Düsseldorf’s malty Altbier have been rivals for decades, much like the cities themselves. I prefer the latter, when I am visiting the region 🍻 #germanbeer #beerpolitics 020
Nancy Nilgen @nancynilgen.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Ever seen a recipe leaflet shaped like a flatfish? I found this East German gem from the 1950s tucked inside an even older cookbook. Looks like it was hardly used, it's in really good condition #foodhistory #DDR #Vintagerecipe 0184
