    Among it was Swiss cheese and general speaken strong intense tasting cheese.

    I also eat cheddar especially older one, but compared with some of the present one, cheddar it is mild.

    I don’t know why you think the cheese is bland? Color has nothing in common with taste.

    I don’t like bland bread 😅 but only one of the two breads was a rye wheat mixture, the other one was a wheat walnut bread.

    We missed the pickles I usually like them as well, but in the end we had way to much of everything.

      Yesss, I’ve tried lots of German and Swiss cheese and it’s not for me. Blandness (or perhaps better described as a lack of “umami”) was inferred from the rubbery-looking texture. And walnut in the bread would not have saved it for me!

      What pickles do you usually have? Not found any in Germany so far, and make my own with a range of veg, brown sugar and apple or red wine vinegar.

      Important thing is that you enjoyed it - and continue to enjoy it tomorrow - just thought I’d provide a counterpoint in case others (maybe Brits, as I’ve found precious few who like rye! :-) ) felt the same.
