Dinner Theme: Oktoberfest

Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Time : 11:34 PM

With the liquor store shelves full of Oktoberfest beers, and the leaves starting to turn colors, we just couldn't help ourselves but celebrate our German ancestors' favorite drinking and eating holiday. Our final menu:
  • Saucission
  • Homemade Pretzels
  • German Potato Salad
  • Beer Cheese Soup
  • Pear Tart with Riesling Sauce
  • Oktoberfest Beers

I cooked up the German Potato Salad based off Bobby Flay's recipe at Foodnetwork.com. I'm not going to lie to you, it was fantastic. Bacon, potatoes, can you really go wrong? John's beer cheese soup was a classic Wisconsin-German staple. Rebecca's tart was also very good. Saucission, while a french sausage, is still sausage. Plus it was purchased from a German store, and it made a great appetizer.

The potato salad recipe is linked above. It's pretty basic, try some different things with it!
