The most disgusting lunch ever

OK, I'll admit it, although I try not to be, I'm a little bit of a picky eater.
I just don't like a fish to be staring at me as I'm eating it, don't like most meat, especially meat with bones still on it, and the thought of sausages makes me completely nauseous.

So what a shock it was today at lunch. We went to a some-country-close-to-the-German-border place (can't remember the name of the country, but some tiny country)...anyway, the menu was loaded with sauerkraut and sausage plates so I did what I thought was the most rational - ordered spaghetti Bolonaise. 2 of the 3 plates that were delivered to the rest of my table were so disgusting I seriously had to force myself to not look at them because every time I did I felt my stomach get nauseous.

My friend across from me (from Slovakia) had 4 different kinds of sausages, huge chunks of fatty boiled bacon, and the piece de resistance - the pigs leg. It looked like they literally cut the leg off the pig, threw it in a pot of boiling water then threw it on the plate (on top of a mound of sauerkraut). I could see the little hairs in the pigs leg.

I couldn't look to the right of me, because my friend on that side had a plate of various sausages (on top of a mound of sauerkraut). One of them was blood sausage - almost black, made of blood - by far the most disgusting thing I have ever seen (even next to the hair on the pigs leg). Why would anyone in their right mind eat anything made with any kind of blood??? Oh, and in one of the other sausages you could see what looked like a vein of blood running through the center of it.

The other girl had a normal dish, various faceless fish on top of a mound of sauerkraut. Thank god.

But the hairy pigs leg and blood sausage made me seriously nauseous. And they loved it. I need to rethink my friends maybe...
