Oktobeerfest 2015

 Ok, so in theory we are a bit late; but not as late as it would seem. Although Oktoberfest 2015 is over in Bavaria, at Milford’s Corner we try to hold true to tradition.  The original Oktoberfest began with the festivities surrounding the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hilburghausen which took place on 12 October 1810 and ran for several days thereafter.  Nowadays in Bavaria, the festival begins in mid-September and ends variably somewhere in the first few days of October. So our Oktoberfest on 16 October is actually within the range of the original celebration back in 1810.

In any event, this Friday we will be serving our version of Schweinshaxe or roasted pork hocks with sauerkraut and sautéed potatoes. 160B.


So come on out and join us in wishing Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese a Happy 205th Wedding Anniversary.

Oh, by the way, just to let some of my more critical readers (you know who you are) know, the title mispelling is deliberate!

  1. What is more embarrassing than to misspell the name of the problem? Just remember that it is mis + spell and that will spell you the worry about spelling "misspell."

    1. First of all, I really appreciate the comment. At least someone reads my stuff! All I can say is that it passed the spell check.
