I was out to meet ex coworkers in the deep of the Odenwald in Annelsbach. It is about a 50 minutes drive East from where I live and it is very small and off the beaten pass. The Hotel and Restaurant is called Dornröschen aka Sleeping Beauty.
It is a family run place. The husband is the Chef and the wife is a well known Pastry Chef in the area.
There are some very traditional old dishes offered on the menu beside the usual stuff like Schnitzel and fried fish. I took the chance to eat one of these almost forgotten dishes. And I was very pleased about my choice.
Pork in aspic with raw onions, mixed pickles and hash browns. Very delicious and a portion big enough to satisfy, but not too much not to have room for the in house fresh baked cake.
It took a while for the cake to cool down, but we had time and a lot ot talk about old times at work.
It was a crumble cake with apricot and apple filling, served with vanilla ice cream. The other one was a coconut chocolate cake.
I think I need to go there again to taste other old fashioned dishes and enjoy freshly baked cakes. Even it takes a longer drive to an area where you are not close to the end of the world, but from where you can see it.
