Elmars I love you

Elmars is one of the nicest secrets on Beaufort Street.  A German butchers, they sell the most amazingly scrummy selection of cured meats and smallgoods.  They pride themselves on their lack of preservatives, make deliciously mumsy homemade food like rissoles, schnitzel, smoked sausage goulash and pea and ham soup (I went in today to get some and there was a big pot on the stove - not today, tomorrow they said, it has to get creamy :-))).  They also make the most gorgeous rolls - I like to get a sliced rissole or some of their house made ham with all their salads in a wholegrain roll with mustard.  MMM MMM!  For an unhealthier (but probably yummier) option, get them to slap on some of their home made mayonnaise.  People who like to hang out or visit Mount Lawley on Saturdays will know that they set up a sausage stall out the front - but not just any old sausage - venison, bratwurst, knacker, fleishwurst..... oh yeah!  They also do a smashingly awesome continental smoked bacon that is out of this world.  Last but not least, if you have any German buds that suffer from occasional Germsickness LOL, they sell little German things like German lemonade and Ritter Chocolade.  Surprise someone!
