Prost! I have fond memories of my first visit to Oktoberfest in Munich 40 plus years ago, but the biergartens in the city are the best. I recall radishes sold. Big white radishes, sliced super thin. I've never seen this anywhere else except Bavaria. Are raw radish wedges still a thing?

Yes, radishes are a popular thing to bring to a Biergarten, and you can find those big white radishes in every German grocery store. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the Oktoberfest. I'm afraid my cousin's point of view has rubbed off on me.

I laughed at your cousin's guided tour and when you are 17 years old and your first time to Oktoberfest I overlooked the drunks pissing for all the cute young men in lederhosen. Once was enough. I preferred Muhldorf's festival to Munich's. And those radishes are so yummy!
