It’s strange but I guess rolled meat roasts are not common in Stuttgart. I did find one a while back but after that experience I always buy them in France to bring back to Stuttgart. With so many other cuts of pork, especially roast like, I guess the Germans just can’t be bothered.
I went over to Fresh Paradise thinking that they might have the roast, but no. They did have some veal baby back ribs that I thought were interesting, so I bought those thinking of a slow grill with Asian marinade.
A side of Japanese potato salad sounded good but I didn’t have any cucumbers. But mind made up, I substituted some cute mini courgettes.
One thing about Germany, if you don’t know how to boil and egg you don’t have to. These colored, pre-boiled eggs have nothing to do with Easter, they are available year round. I imagine the color is applied to separate the raw from the boiled. I love these eggs!
The courgettes were a great substitute.
Everyone in the family likes this potato salad almost as much as my Mom’s 🙂
For over 30 years, no matter which country we were in, we would attend the yearly U.S. Marine Corps Birthday Ball. The Marines would always provide each guest with a souvenir; beer mugs, wine glasses, Champagne flutes. Here’s one from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Oorah!
Grilled Veal Ribs
5-6 slabs of baby back veal ribs
3 spring onions, whites and greens, chopped
8-10 garlic cloves, chopped
1 inch ginger piece, chopped
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3/4 cup tamari soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
Mix all ingredients together and pour over the ribs. Marinate over night. Barbecue the ribs off flame, top down at between 300-325 F for about 3 hours, turning and basting occasionally.
Japanese Potato Salad
1 1/2 lb potatoes
2 carrots
3 mini courgettes, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
3/4 cup of mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
Boil the carrots and potatoes together until tender. Cube the potatoes and thinly slice the carrots. Put in a mixing bowl with the chopped eggs, courgettes, onion and mayonnaise. Add salt, pepper and mix well.

Thank you Khoa.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill barbecue, is it? Looks and sounds lip-smackingly good! The salad rocks as well. My dinner menu is set, thank you! 🙂
Thank you Novice. Good luck with the menu.
Beautiful bbq. So funny about the colored eggs. This looks like a perfect salad.
Thank you Amanda. I love that you can buy these eggs 🙂
This bbq looks delish!
Thank you news, made a great Sunday lunch.
Spectacular, Rosemary. Spectacular. I’m a big fan of veal, not that it’s frugal…
Thank you Frugal. Veal is expensive but so worth it!
Veal ribs! What a treat. But the Marine Corps birthday ball just made the potato salad better. Tx Rose for our next dinner attempt!
Thank you Kathy. I love finding those souvenirs 🙂
Those veal ribs look absolutely mouth-watering.
Thank you Mary.
Being from Texas, potato salad is a staple. I will definitely be trying this recipe out, thanks!
Old school Texas potato salad is the best but I think you’ll like this one.
I can’t wait to try it!
Both the ribs (with the fantastic marinade) and the accompanying Japanese potato salad look great. Love it!
Thank you Dish, I really like that marinade 🙂
Try soy mayonnaise and add grated pickled cucumber.
Thank you marymtf.
I’m fascinated by those eggs. And what a great-looking meal all around.
Thank you Michelle. I’m going to miss those eggs.
Magic my friend. Thanks for the invite! 🙂

Thank you and good luck with it date.
Wow, I am not sure when I will be able to try to make the ribs… but I won’t wait to have guests over for the Japanese potato salad 😉
Good idea. The potato salad is quick and easy.
That’s another good point to it!

I’ve been working in our orchard for the last few weeks having to wear a jacket. Everything about your meal has me longing for warm weather, heading to our summer cottage in Maine and getting the grill out of storage. 🙂
Yes, I hear you!
