Spice level warning — Kartoffelsalat is not what I expected

I underestimated Kartoffelsalat. The hearty and deeply savoury description didn't prepare me for the reality. smoked pork brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

German bread culture is extraordinarily diverse with over 300 officially registered varieties. The a Sunday family roast lunch setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Riesling cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
