Hello European Delicatessen fans,

I am planning an upcoming shopping expedition to Merivale. My usual lunch stop is Nicastro's however this time I might like to break from tradition and try the Eurpean Delicatesssen - the lunches sound so delicious! I paid a brief visit last March but alas the weather was a little cool for sitting outside and they obviously do not have any tables set up indoors. So does anyone know if they have tables set up outdoors during the nice weather? Also do you have any favourites you could recommend? (I could easily pick anything from the menu - it all looks so good - but I like getting recommendations from the regulars...) Thanks!

I buy these from time to time and really enjoy them. They are as good as the ones I used to buy when hiking in the Alps, and that says something. And yes, they are square (as all the ones in the Alps that I've ever seen are)

A great sandwich on a round kaiser reminiscent of Nicastro's/La Bottega. They really pile on the meat here. Priced reasonably. The store also carries other Euro treats like perogies, Ajvar, and a wide selection of chocolate.

Wow, what a coincidence! The day after I created the Weisswurst food here, a German friend of mine asked me if I knew where to get authentic ones. He ended up getting some here and was extremely happy with them as he reported to me yesterday. I believe he even said they have several varieties available.
