Operation Paprika - Page 13

My father can beat up your father!

Cuisine wise, I think the only country whos cuisine is worthy of unanimous praise is italy (depending on the region).

Also, these are superb:



On average, what I see coming from central europe tends to be superior to whats coming out of the UK. Chiseled lasts can be very attractive, but it's one step closer to jeffery west.

You like them, teh spoo beads?

He looks like Van Nistelrooy...

yes, they are

meanwhile, i suspect the average joe on sf neither comprehends my project, nor what makes a good shoe.

just my two cents.

I love these! Would wear them in a heartbeat. Too expensive for me though. I can't justify spending upwards of $700 on a pair of shoes just yet. And, upon second look at the thread, the brown ones pictured above start to kind of grow on me. I think they would look great with jeans or chinos.

these are not really "operation paprika" as long as the family brand concept is not realised.

they are from the workshop of mr. georg materna, one of the top names in the shoemaking world.

i just helped him to get a presence on sf. now, we just need an icebreaker


if you need more information, we can switch to pm communication.

thank you for your interest.

I see what you mean. He's our (!) 3-Michelin-star rock 'n' roll chef. (Sorry fritzl, for the derailment.)

no worries, this topic has developed into a "lifestyle" thread, which i absolutely welcome.

it's in the spirit of the family brand concept: shoes, travelling, food,... all the good things in life.

sure, what's the exchange rate?

I visited my friend who retired young to become a gentleman farmer. He has a large farm with apple trees, peach trees, and lots of different vegetables (last round of tomatoes just came in). He also has chickens and a cow.

I got to make some wiener schnitzel, and it was quite scrumptious. Nothing like eating some chicken coated in an egg it just made If anyone is interested in making it, I recommend panko bread crumbs (japanese).

Whether "good shoes" or not, and I am no expert, this pair are beautiful, IMHO.
As for the Maternas, a bit pointy for my taste (and feet) but sublime overall.

Chicken Wiener Schnitzel?

comrade,

you're an expert on your own and you're on file, no worries

the materna's are "my" sf choice. a lot more to come, but unfortunately no interested parties.

may I deciphre:

what comes out of this workshops is not dependable on a price ratio.

original wiener schnitzel is made of veal.

it can taste good from pork or turkey.

translated to shoes:

the ingrediensts are of factor, but at the end of day qualiy wins.
