silly name for a new variety
"Mark. Gooley" wrote in message ...
Ach, It's Gruesome Mark., with apologies to Gruess an Aachen "Gruss an Aachen" may sound funny to anglophones, but it doesn't to German speakers. In Austria the traditional greeting exchanged by everyone is "Gruss Gott." I spent three months in Salzburg in 2002 and quickly learned that if you didn't say it in response to the phrase, you were considered rude and uncouth. Now if you want a really strange German rose name, there's "Hamburger Phoenix." The name celebrates the resurrection of the city of Hamburg from the ashes of WWII, but it brings to mind images of -- 1. minced rara avis 2. An Arizona fast food emporium. J. Del Col |

However, this phrase isn't used up north (and certainly not used in Aachen). Up there, you say "Guten Morgen or Guten Tag - good morning or good day. Or just "Morgen." In Vienna you sometimes hear "Servus" as a greeting, but usually only from the elderly. Phoenix requires larding or a moist cooking method. It is similar to Guinea Fowl in that respect. J. Del Col |
