You get redkraut and weiskraut with your Döner at the Fünf Sterne Kebab in the Stuttgarter Straße in Calw. It only misses the "Sauer" 
. But I don´t like it with it.
Hey, I will ask them to do me one with Sauerkraut the next time I get around there

Just tell them I said hi - that should do the trick
Sauerkraut is actually not exclusively german. They eat quite a lot of "choucroute" in Alsace, Lorraine and Belgium too. And besides: I happen to like it...
But then I never met a calorie I didn't like, so...

Kebab as a typical german meal is a point of view I like very much! Time to get all the cultures mixed! I vote Couscous for the french national meal!

Hey Englander, I thought a squirrel was this nice little furry animal with a beautiful tail ( like the one in Trollsvinter, Hatifnat ) and cutting teeth? Or am I using an unexisting word?

As long as you keep them cutting teeth away from my wooden leg you can call it whatever you like

It does. And girls think they look cute. But if you shaved their tales (the squirrles tales, that is ) they would look exactly like rats...

I take the squirrel as used in the Patricia Cornwall Novels. The good cop Marino who works with the heroess Kay Scarpetta always calls the criminals "squirrels" (Like : Hey, if we get that damn squirrel I´m gonna shoot him )

Didn't the dwarves and Bilbo eat some black squirrels in Mirkwood?
Which reminds me: I'm late for my lunch...

I thought they didn't eat them...
Did you know that Scarpetta means sock in Polish?

Well I don't want you "goblin" your lunch Engländer as it might give you "trollific" indigestion!

You're right, Noooo~
One thing - you write it skarpeta, eh?))

You could also write it in danish. Much easier: Sok

Or in German: Socke. Nice term to call someone doing something a little not to your liking but can cope with it and have a little lough together...

Oh, yeah. Remember the name of those socks you use for close combat?
