West Shore Park, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

The Supper Club would be doing something a bit different this week: visiting a local Christmas market! Lydia thought it sounded quite fun, with all sorts of interesting shopping and delicious treats. She hoped everyone would enjoy it, and weren't too stuffed from the island's latkes.

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!

Arrive and Mingle

You know the drill.

This sounded adorable, and even if Rey still had things to do for the holiday, they could wait while she checked this out. And look, it was adorable.

"This is the thing they do in Europe?" she checked.

"Well, not my part of Europe," Lydia allowed, "but it's my understanding it's a tradition of the German states?"

"I'm not complaining that it made it here," Rey decided. "It's good to have something Christmassy."

Like the island itself wasn't enough.

"It's quite fun, isn't it?" Lydia agreed. "With all the shopping and whatnot." Mostly the shopping, if you were her.

"I probably need to do that," Rey admitted. "I'm bad at things."

"Oooh, look at those sausages!" Henry was immediately in good spirits as his European player rushed to the website to ensure it was doing Christmas markets Properly as he walked on in. "We'll be supperin' well tonight, then."

That was not how you used that word, but he was trying.

"Supping," Lydia corrected absently. "Or dining. And yes, it seems like there's a nice variety to choose from!" Especially in the realm of sausages.

"Think they'd let us take some home with us?" Henry asked.

Explore the Christmas Market

[mustbeawitch]

And eat, of course. It's what we're here for. Oooh, raclette.

OOC

[mustbeawitch]

I want raclette.

Re: OOC

[thatsmysword]

This is the first year in about a decade that I am not driving to Cologne to hit up the Christmas markets and I'm just looking at this website going "okay, raclette, wurst, mulled wine mugs shaped like boots, you have that... but BAKED POTATO? Instead of spatzle, or reibekuchen, or even potato on a goddamn stick? And schnitzel? At Weihnachtsmarkt? Where's your dignity? Where's your handbrot?! Your flammkuchen?!"

And then I realize I really should've found an excuse to drive to Cologne this year anyway because now I'm hungry.

Re: OOC

[mustbeawitch]

Every county fair around has potato on a stick, even, but at least there's some potato product? IDK.

Re: OOC

[thatsmysword]

I suppose we can file that under 'they tried'.

Though now I crave flammkuchen and there's none to be had.
