@Wolfshanze:
so ya, I loved German bakeries and any variation of “pig on a bun” I was always happy with (especially that German mustard).
There’s an amusing scene (one of the rare ones) in the Spencer Tracy movie Judgment at Nuremberg in which he buys a sausage and a bread roll from a street vendor, who is a fifty-ish lady. Another customer, a woman approximately in her late 20s, is standing next to the same vendor stall, smoking a cigarette and drinking a coffee. Tracy (who was 61 at the time) smiles at the young woman as he dabs mustard on his plate, and she smiles back, but he doesn’t speak German and she doesn’t speak English, so they don’t converse. The woman finishes her coffee, leans towards Tracy, smiles, says “Auf Wiedersehen, Opa,” and walks away. Tracy smiles and makes a vague gesture of acknowledgement, but has no idea of what she just said. He then asks the vendor lady if she speaks English, then asks what the young woman said to him. The lady answers: “She said ‘Goodbye, Grandpa’”. Tracy is a little deflated by this, but at least he seems to enjoy his snack. (Just prior to that scene, by the way, Spencer is given a recommandation to visit the old part of town, where “everyone stops off for a beer and a sausage,” by a US military aide who’s played by, of all people, William Shatner.)
