This is a brown sauce on steroids. Apart from the fact that it takes 10 hours to prepare the stock, it takes almost as long to prepare the sauce finished afterwards.

The best "brown sauce" I have tasted.

When I cook fried vegetables, make Spanish omelettes, hash from leftovers, etc. I love to add small pieces of chorizo to them. It provides an incredible amount of flavor with small amounts of meat. But chorizo is a very expensive sausage to use in frying. Therefore it is a good candidate for making your own spicy chorizo stuffing, that you can just put into a box in the fridge and use as needed.

Beef and veal prime rib is a beautiful piece of meat. The red marbled meat sitting on the cut ribs. It's not a cut we usually see at the butcher her in Denmark, but he can make it for you if you ask.

The eyes lighting up around the table when the big piece of meat is served is worth it alone.

Though I live in Denmark I visit Berlin very often. One of my favourite places there is the street restaurant Rogacki. It's very noisy, you stand up and eat and the food is made right next to you. It is a wonderful place! One of my favourites there is "Garnelen mit pinienkernen". I have tried to copy it here, and I believe I am pretty close.
