"It's when the Himmel und Erde or Heaven and Earth hits the table that I start getting deep into my happy zone. That's blood sausage, fried onions, and mashed potatoes with applesauce which if you don't like, by the way, pretty much removes you from my "will save from drowning" list."

"Hightail it to family-owned Brauerei zur Malzmuhle. There, you’ll drink like a local (fresh Kölsch after fresh Kölsch) and eat like a German prince – Himmel und Erde (blood sausage, fried onions, mashed potatoes, apple sauce), and other hefty booze-soakers that’ll have you reaching for the ZZZs as soon as your head hits the pillow."

Neue Zürcher Zeitung

"In the Brauerei zur Malzmühle, one of the oldest Kölsch breweries, one can drink Kölsch and eat heartily. Worth a try is the cult dish Himmel und Erde: fried black pudding, mashed potatoes with apple sauce and fried onions."
