One night after just arriving in Germany, my family went out for dinner at a restaurant. My sister ordered goulash and my Dad asked for meat. I didn't know what to order, so I just closed my eyes and randomly picked something with my finger. I ordered where my finger landed and when it was delivered to me I was so surprised. On the plate was water and right in the middle was white meatballs! I tasted it and it tasted like plastic. It was inedible. The waitress took one look at my facial expression and stared to crack up. I was sooooo embarrased!
