Spaghetti "Carbonara"

In Germany, Nürnberg at least, your groceries aren't bagged. Nor are bags of any sort provided.



When I got to the store, I decided it would be best to pick one simple dish with a few specific ingredients which I could make in my little kitchen. I required: Milk, Eggs, Spaghetti, Bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Milk, Eggs, and Spaghetti are pretty unmistakable in any language. I bought some bacon-like meat product and some unknown cheese variety which was the closest visual approximation to Parmesan I could see (not very close).



The cheese was too strong, but it looked appetizing.
