is how these German staples arrive at your house. You pick how much and how often.
Just think, fresh rolls delivered to your door every morning. Or not having to carry those %^$#@* heavy beer and juice crates. Convenient services, but I can't vouch for the quality of the products.
is what I thought when I ordered this sandwich while in Gimmeldigen.
Except, it isn't even close. In fact it's probably the furthest thing from an all American burger you could ever taste.
This is a Rhineland-Pfalz specialty - grilled (over an open flame) saumagen on a Kaiser brotchen. It was delicious.
are in the stores now! There's alot of German culture wrapped up in this one little egg.
These little calorie bombs are made by the German milk chocolate maker, Milka, the company known for their purple and white cows. Unlike Ritter Sport, Milka is probably closer to being the Hershey's of Germany, even though Milka may not be considered a German product now that the Milka brand is owned by Kraft Foods. Most Milka products are simple milk chocolate or chocolate-like confections. Everything they make is wrapped in the same color purple. My British readers may even think the purple looks very much like a Cadbury's purple. Ironically, Cadbury is also owned by Kraft.
These special chocolate eggs mimic how Germans eat their eggs at breakfast. The first step is to whack off the top with your knife before using your special tiny egg spoon to eat the egg out of the shell. Non-German egg eaters don't follow this rule. You can always spot the non-Germans at a hotel breakfast.
tea is one of my favorites when it is chilly and damp outside; like it has been lately.
If you look closely, you'll see it has speculoos (spekulatius) flavor in it.
sandwiches are what you could make with the Valentine's salami and this cheese.
Another interesting product found in the local grocery store.
After heart-shaped salami in 2010, I never expected to find this
in this week's advertisement from the local grocery store, Edeka. Happy Valentine's Day!
I first blogged about this interesting dish, here. It's popular at Christmas markets, and after a recent visit to the Wiesbaden market, I've had a craving for it.
Monika, at Country Living in the City, posted her grandmother's recipe (in English) and DH found a quick version, thanks to Germany's Betty Crocker, Dr. Oetker.
With fresh fruit, fruit compote, applesauce, or just plain powdered sugar, it sure beats plain ole pancakes.
or something quite close is what comes from our local bakery. At least that's what the advertising says. I love that the angel is named "Delia."
For my readers who don't speak German, the bakery bag says "Only angels bake better"
This is from the same bakery that used this bag in the Spring.
is the name of a Munich bakery that not only bakes and sells beautiful Christmas cookies, they also decorate with them and show you how to make your own.
