Today is father's day in Germany and usually the guys go out on a drinking and walking tour into the fields or woods with their little push carts, filled to the brim with beer and picnic food or they take part in other outdoor amusement just for men and fathers.... but in my family this has never been the tradition and this year we decided to have a litte BBQ... I was in charge of the salads and the pushcart hot dog sauce this is what i made.... Everything tasted very nice matched tha different kinds of sausages that we grilled and it was a good lunch...Cheers Alissa
