Tip Top Meats is a local favorite for Carlsbad residents and places beyond. It is located on Paseo del Norte just off the Palomar Airport Road Exit from the 5 freeway.
They have the best selection of wieners and bratwurst this side of Munich. I try to keep some on hand in case my grandchildren come. The only problem is they have such a vast selection it is hard to choose which ones to buy. They have Swiss style, the German style, extra long, etc.
I haven't bought one year I didn't like. If there is a negative about this market, it would be that due to its popularity, it can be difficult to find a parking space. Persevere and remember it's worth the wait.
This week I also was tempted to buy an impulse item- a boxed cake mix called a Bee Slling Cake Mix.
I think now it was a mistake. The directions were hard to follow and it turned out to be more of a sweet bread with a yeast base. However I may try to do it again or a version of it by using a white cake mix with the same whipped cream topping and sliced almonds on top with drizzle of honey.
