I think all those things have improved with age (yours -- and mine). 8

And besides, the best ochsenschwanzsuppe was clearly at der Roter Ochsen in
Heidelberg.

I also remember pop-top bottles of wonderful fresh beer (Weldebrau) magically
appearing on my doorstep every morning.

But I sure don't remember good pizza in Germany. France, yes; Holland, yes;
Italy, yes; but not Germany.
