Gebrauchsanweisung für die Pfalz

The German Tuscany, as the Palatinate is also known, beckons with pines and cypresses, fig trees and almond blossom - quintessentially German and Mediterranean, cosmopolitan and provincial at the same time. Cabaret artist Christian "Chako" Habekost provides insights into the clichés of the southwest German region, takes aim at the Palatinate's penchant for the superlative and deals in detail with the subtleties of dialect - the "schännschde" dialect in general. An entertaining round trip from the vegetable Palatinate to the German Wine Route, from Speyer Cathedral to the largest wine festival in the world and over to the Electoral Palatinate in Mannheim and Heidelberg. He explains how musical hand cheese really is, how many pint of wine a typical Palatine "squeals" every day, and reveals how Helmut Kohl liked his Saumagen best. An amusing as well as profound excursion into a fun-loving region, full of bite.
