Our very sweet girl arrived last night. She is 13. My girls are 12 and 11. We are getting by....(!) Lots of giggling. I'm English and we live in France. I'm surprized that she wants to drink fizzy water all the time and wonder if there are any other typically German things she might be missing. Obviously we want to give her French things. The school told us not to give seafood although we are by the sea. Also, to make sure we cook the meat thoroughly. Last night we had 'raclette' where you pour melted cheese on potatoes and salami etc..but she hardly ate anything. For breakfast she had one tiny cake and a glass of fizzy water!! She is as thin as pin but very tall....Any advice on things culinary and German?
