Table for Humina, Humina?_____completed! 7/30

[BriarRosie]

I haven't eaten there in over 10 years, yet the food looks exactly the same. I sure hope they rotated out some of the dishes. I was going to question the wine thing, when clearly the place, to me...screams BEER! I admit that when I see the photos of the place and entertainment, I immediately think I can take I-94 north to Wisconsin and see the same thing over the border. Or at the German restaurant close to work.

And of course guys wouldn't card as much as the gals do. I got into bars before I turned 21.

Here in the armpit of the midwest they are sprinkles ...

BTW ... although I know that Jay and I will never eat at the Biergarten I enjoyed your review. I especially liked the picture of the dude with the amazingly long horn.

I would have captioned that picture:

Are you glad to see me or is that a horn in your pocket?

First: I agree. Sprinkles here, not jimmies:
Second: I had similar captions in my head about the Alpine Horn.
Third: By my caption would have been:

RIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccooooooooooollllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I've done the Ricola thing every time I've been in line for the Matterhorn.

 

[BriarRosie]

Sprinkles here too!!!

& I just kept thinking of the Ricola commercial...

Gah. You posted a split second before I got my Ricola reference in. Thpppt.

Thanks for taking one for the team and filling your dessert plate! Much appreciated

Woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do

Team Jimmies!

Happiest place on Earth.

Ocean City is really nice even though it's a dry town. I have vacationed there several times. Sea Isle is a really fun place. I lived down there for a summer while in college and have also vacationed there a bunch of times. I do remember Pleasure Ave now -- when I read your email about that intersection it was so familiar but I just could not place the town!

I don't usually go that far south anymore, especially for day trips. About the furthest I go is Long Beach Island -- I'll be there next weekend

Ocean City is really nice. I liked growing up there because you could walk around late at night and nothing would really happen to you, because all the drunks were elsewhere. I hope you have fun at Long Beach Island 4th of July isn't the same to me outside of the Jersey Shore.

Oh... here we go with that great minds thing again...

OMG...this was my exact thought on seeing that picture too!


We ate at Biergarten once and that was enough for me, although the German hubby thought it was the cats meow. The desserts looked good, we appreciate your research! Hmmmm...speaking of that, I need to seriously pump up my research fund for F&W.

Jimmies! The folks in Jersey would look at you like you lost your mind-after they stopped laughing of course.

Also, my husband and younger DD love the Biergarten. I can take it or leave it. Older DD won't set her little feet in the building.

Did anyone else "hear" that robot's voice from the Chi-Chi's commercial????

Is Chi-Chi's still around? Ours all closed years ago. I actually heard Jimmy Buffet in my head, but that's just one of the many voices


Sorry, they're SPRINKLES. Jimmie is the kid down the street; why would you put him on your sundae?

What a friendly family you sat with I haven't been to Biergarten in a few years, mainly because I prefer das Festhaus at Bush Gardens Williamsburg.

Ok, time for coffee be back later

They still put out products that can be bought in the grocery store. In our area they are running a stupid commercial showing a family eating a Mexican dinner at home. The trusty family 'droid is also sitting there saying "I want Chi-Chi's! I want Chi-Chi's!" The father looks at it like it is crazy and replies in deadpan, "You don't have tastebuds." The robot then starts to say, "I want tastebuds! I want tastebuds!" Kind of dumb, but it must be working 'cause I remember it.

Oh no...more tourist traffic. I live in LBI.

It really is just basic German (german/american) food. I think it's just one of those tradition places for me. I have it on my ADR list as a place keeper until the Kuzzina ADRs are available and then I'll switch it.

....

I think the Beirgarten is more of a Guy place, I see lots more of them in there than the ladies. My DH and I are the opposite of that though. He doesn't like beer at all and I'll drink it all day long. I just like to get the Reislings there for some reason instead of beer.

Also, my husband and younger DD love the Biergarten. I can take it or leave it. Older DD won't set her little feet in the building.

To me it's not the quality of the food, it's the *memories*. One of those things you kinda have to do, just because you've always done and it gives you the fuzzies. Well, the fuzzies could be from the booze actually.

Yeah, that family was really not into it. They wouldn't let their little kids dance either, and they wanted to! I think Mom and Dad needed a nap.

Well at least I know where not to head to during the robotic uprising.

Having stuffed myself full of food and memories I decided to head back to my hotel to check it out a bit. I had EMH planned the next morning at Hollywood Studios, so Illuminations would have to wait for another day.

I was moseying along WS on my way out of the park, when I spied the Joy of Tea kiosk with no line.

Oh great and mighty Booze Gods, you must be sending me a message to further imbibe you sweet nectar!

Not being one to anger the Gods I placed an order.

oh snap! peach snap that is

This delectible concoction is the Peach Oolong Tea Schnapps Slush. I think it's also called the Peach Snap? Anyone? Bueller? Anywhoodles, it is really good strong (but not unseemly such) peach flavor and isn't overly sweet or cloying. It was to quote baby bear- "Just right". It didn't seem overly boozy however, so if you are looking for a serious kick, check elsewhere.

So I sucked that down on my way to the bus. I also scored what was to be my favorite picture of the whole trip.

the Haunted Chinese Mansion

I peaked in my photo taking skills on my first full day. Sigh.


This one was short, next will be longer: The Hollywood Brown Derby, coming soon

I'm glad you like the review.

I live in CA now, and no one calls the jimmies. After about 3 years I have adapted to be able to refer to them as "sprinkles" but it just feels wrong. I will always pronouce water as "wooder" though, until the day I die!

I'm lucky that I'm still close enough to the Philly region that people know what the heck I'm talking about when I say jimmies! I'm good about "wooder." Though it always warms my heart a bit when I hear it When I was little I came home from school one day and asked my Mom for a glass of "wooder." She wouldn't give it to me until I said it right Good I suppose, but still...it's a badge of honor IMO. According to people around here though, I still say it funny. And Lordy, get some booze into me and the full accent comes out Say it with pride!

the Haunted Chinese Mansion

This is a SPECTACULAR photo

 

[*KeepMovingForward*]

I have to make a note about that Peach tea schnaps thingie. When I get too hammered from the F&W kiosks, that can be my drink reprieve. Sounds yummy. I love your pics-the sky over the WS looks awesome. The sun setting over Disney always looks cool though no matter what. The Haunted Chinese Mansion-I second the spectacular comment-or should it be SPOOKtacular?!

 

[whogirl'smom]

A late vote for "sprinkles" here! And trust me, I don't make fun of anyone's accent--Brenda knows what I sound like in person!

Loved the Biergarten review. I'm planning it for this Dec. Do you remember if they still had the wine flights? I always get a glass of the Gunderloch Diva Riesling at the winehaus; it's sweet but in a nice fruity way.

I remember in elementary school they used to serve us kraut and wieners at least twice month--what were they thinking??!! Talk about a stinky cafeteria!

Great picture! Haunted Chinese Mansion is exactly what I thought, too!

Oh no...more tourist traffic. I live in LBI.

Not sure if you will be in Beach Haven at all this summer, but my niece, May is lifeguarding there... She's already had one save this year

I live here year round in the Loveladies section of LBI. The beach doesn't have the same allure for us that it does the tourists since we live and breathe it all the time. I enjoy the beach in the Spring & Fall for the peace and tranquility. You really don't get that in the summer. If you stop in Walmart in Manahawkin, you may see my son at the register. Cool job for your niece for the summer. Awesome job on the rescue too! Sadly, she'll probably have a hundred under her belt by the end of the season. Hopefully its a calmer season than most and she enjoys her beach time. We may have to have a Dis meet if you come down to the area.

 

[oybolshoi]

Shenanigoat your pictures were lovely ... the sunset and the haunted Chinese do-wich-ee. Yes ... hard to believe but I admire the still life in this last post more than the booze. I don't like peachy drinks and Jay and I have found in past visits that there is no joy, nor luck, at the Joy of Tea stand.

BTW ... have you told us your real name or do we have to come up with an affectionate nickname for you based on your user ID? Gawd only knows what this group might come up with.

So true. Its like AA over on the Bendy thread-we've all introduced ourselves and admitted we have a food problem. You've been inducted into the clan...there's no turning back now.
