  1. I have eaten this when living in Germany and have always loved it! I used red skin potatoes and left the skins on for colour and fibre. I also used red onions and spring (green) onions too. My beer of choice was Stella Artois and I managed to get some German mustard for a totally authentic taste! Made for the Cheese and Whine Team for Germany and ZWT#6. Merci Papa D! FT:-)
     
  2. This was a great side dish. There is only a small amount of beer in the dressing, so I'd recommend using a flavorful brew (like a stout or an India Pale Ale) instead of a light beer.
     
  3. Loved this. Not too sweet. I used sweet pickle relish instead of sweet pickle (I guess it's more or less the same). Only thing different was that I used less oil, about half. Otherwise, no changes. BF is not fond of raw onions, so he avoided the red onions even though I cut them very small. I liked it exactly as I made it, thank you! My beer was a Corona light, mustard was my favorite, Koskiusko. :)
     
  4. This was easy! I used a Pale Ale but everything else was the same. Made for ZWT6.

I have enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. Thanks to everyone that has tried and reviewed my recipes :>) My review guidelines are as follows: 5 stars - Wonderful ! Perfect as posted and plan to make this recipe again! 4 stars - Liked it a lot and will make again but will probably alter the recipe slightly. 3 stars - OK but to make it again would require major changes to the original recipe to suit my tastes. 2 stars - Really didn't like it. Could be personal preference or the recipe just didn't meet expectations. <embed src="http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/8008-orange.swf?TimeZone=GMT0800&" width="150" height="150" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <a href="http://photobucket.com/meez" target="_blank"><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z195/dlowe52s/mz_0410_10021355399.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <embed src="http://static.travbuddy.com/flash/countries_map.swf?id=4529632" quality="high" bgcolor="#372060" width="400" height="213" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Adopted by: <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/280271">TeresaS's</a> With <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/286209">Lumpia (In Spring Roll Wrappers)</a> Recipe#341002 <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/291762">Smoked Ribs on the Grill</a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Adopted by: Chef #194886 With:Recipe #317515 Recipe #317753 Recipe #250644 <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> My themes, Asian and breakfast.
