In Frankfurt, hand cheese is served in an onion marinade. Traditionally, this hearty regional dish is eaten without a knife or fork. You drink the cider from the Geripptes, a goblet-shaped glass that has diamonds on the outside so that the drink doesn’t slip out of your hands. This is all a pretty oily affair. Apparently someone had spilled a gigantic pot of hand-made cheese onto the lawn of the Frankfurt stadium before the day of the football match between Germany and the Netherlands. Players found no support, especially the Germans.
