Underwhelming Sauerbraten — expected more

I was looking forward to Sauerbraten here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The tangy from fermentation character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with smoked pork or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

German bread culture is extraordinarily diverse with over 300 officially registered varieties. The a traditional Gasthaus setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. weissbier was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
