Up until recently you couldn't get t-bone steaks in Germany (because the meat is so close to the bone they were scared about Mad Cow) but now you can get them from just about any butcher who does the cuts themselves. We're getting at least 10 T-bones, around an inch thick from 1 bull that they just slaughtered. I cannot wait for that meat to get here. Rain or shine, there will be grilling going on that weekend! Nothing like a good steak - and this guy has some of the best! Metro has good quality meat though, in general. I'm still suffering from withdrawal after being pregnant last year. Having a well done steak just is just not right :) We have a butcher near Frankfurt that we have been buying from since we moved here 7 years ago.

I would love to have half a cow in the freezer... I am really craving red meat at the moment.

I don't know if you have access to shopping at Metro, but they have a FABULOUS cheese selection. Only companies can sign up there so you may need to find a friend with a card unless you guys have your own small biz here :) Or if you're in Frankfurt we can go together ;) I buy my cheddar there for 8 euros a kilo and pre-shredded bags of it for a little bit more...they have hard cheeses galore and lots of pizza cheeses. Still nothing like in the US with different versions of Jack or Colby - but it's a start. I try to stay out of that store though since it's got all these great gourmet things that I never need but sure are awesome to try. And now they have T-bones also which you can never have enough of in the freezer :) Hey Renia,

And yes, I know exactly how hard it is to find any non- European cheese here. Its even hard to get British cheddar in Munich- I have to go to special stores, none in my Edeka or Tengelmann.

It's a substitute for Romano although that's not too American either. I think you could use something less hard though like Monterrey or Colby Jack...even a pepper-jack. Would taste fantastic. Unfortunately those are not so easy to come by here in Germany :( lol Parmesan is not American? :) Not Tex-Mexi enough? It’s a substitute for Romano although that’s not too American either.

I'm also a big fan of meal planning so whenever I see something I think would be great I either bookmark it in my Google reader (cause it's usually in someone's blog I've been reading) or better yet I print the recipe right then so I find it at some point in the near future. Otherwise it just drifts off into cyberspace lol @Laura - I'm sure more tequila in there wouldn't hurt. I was having quite the hankering for margaritas while making this though. Would be perfect with it! @Heather – Thanks for stopping by!
