In a big house in Germany lived a lady who twisted her tongue. Robert understood only that he was her Grandson. Questions to answer made Robert escape from the supper table. Sauerkraut or red cabbage was a taste Robert would hate. A piece of bread spread butter and honey upon his plate. A chocolate surprise egg followed for a treat to reward Robert for something healthier to eat.
Robert entered the kitchen for a mouthful of his Grandmothers bite, but she had a long slice of fish against Robert´s wish when the tongue twister said ´Esse´, Robert would vanish speechless.

Whereabouts in Germany does, or did, your grandmother live, Robert?
The only places I've visited there are Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich.
