Where to eat

Spaghettieis was invented in Mannheim in 1969. Vanilla ice cream is pressed through a spaetzle press, creating the spaghetti-like shape, over which comes strawberry sauce as tomato sauce and grated white chocolate as grated cheese. Mannheim is known for its many pretzel stands. Little pretzel baguettes with mozzarella and tomato are quite yum.
