Is there anything cozier than ending a trip to the Mangfall Valley with a stop at the Gotzingertrommel tavern? In the past, guests were enveloped in clouds of sound from the most cheerful opera arias as soon as they entered. Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, it was a blare and jubilation that there was only one kind.

Nothing beats trying things out in the kitchen. And that's why this text has to start with a couple of small, golden-brown breaded cuboids that slowly roast in a well-oiled pan and become very crispy. In fact, you soon spread a strangely familiar scent in the kitchen that you haven't experienced in a long time, but that immediately takes you back decades. Now just add mashed potatoes, a few pinches of lemon juice - the happiness of children is ready....
