I wanted over to the central part of Frankfurt one evening and walked around. I got thirsty and…read moredecided to pop into Spicelands. This grocery store is wonderful. It has a ton of food from Asia, the Middle East, and even the Caribbean. I felt like I was in Toronto! I saw a bottle of chrysanthemum tea drink and got it. The cashier was friendly and helpful as I continued to figure out how to use Euros. I love the selection of foods. I wasn't hungry. Otherwise, I would have had a samosa or more! (2)

This is where I do the majority of my shopping in Frankfurt. I love coming into Spicelands and…read moreperusing around looking for all the things I need... and don't need! The market has a very Indian focus, but also carries a variety of goods from the Caribbean, Asia, and the Middle East. You can get cheap young coconuts, amla berries, avocados, and even fresh curry leaves (which are surprisingly difficult to find in Frankfurt) here. But be aware- the curry leaves go fast once a shipment arrives! I stock up on them and freeze them when I can find them. If you're carrying other bags into Spicelands, you must leave them at the front counter. Not really a surprise given the area of the city the shop is in, but this may be a nuisance to many customers. Try to make Spicelands your first stop on your shopping around town if possible! Not only does Spicelands carry every spice you could possibly need (seriously never go to Rewe to buy overpriced spices... go here!), they also sell incense, Indian cooking accessories, and beers from all around the world. If you can't find something in Spicelands, just ask the staff and they will helpfully assist you or let you know where you can get it or tell you when the next order will arrive.

So there was a May Day festival going on the two days we were in Frankfurt which was amazing…read morebecause it meant loads of outdoor street vendors, including this shop which had set up an outdoor sausage tent. I'm not sure if they always have an outdoor option, but they did the night we walked by and I'm sure glad we stopped. Now, first of all I was lured in by the smells of brats cooking, then hooked by the sight of them. Once I saw they also had beer on tap I was sold. I was a bit nervous because I literally speak no German, but I was assisted by a friendly local in line and then found out that the staff all speaks fluent English, and is actually insanely friendly. After some chatting I got what I was looking for which was a brat, some fries, and a solid German beer. Overall the brat was amazing, in part due to the homemade bun, and the beer was thirst quenching. The fries were actually really basic and nothing to write home about, but I'm landing on five stars for this place because I did not find any servers that were more friendly than the folks working at this sausage stand, and I'd absolutely recommend going back to this place if you're looking for a satisfying and affordable meal in Frankfurt.
