There is another thing that I remembered that I had in Christmas market is the gluehwein. It's a kind of red wine mix brew with some spies, honey and lemon, usually served hot. It tastes sweet and sour. Normally we will drink gluehwein during Christmas and winter as it could warm our body. Seriously, it is very comfy to drink gluehwein when you are freeze cold outside.
Gluehwein also available only during Christmas so you can get it easily at Christmas market at € 3 per cup (include the cup). You can refund for the cup, if you want and you will get back your deposit for the cup. =) Another must try during Christmas when you are at Germany!
Yum.. Yum…It’s so delicious. I remembered the last time I had stollen was like 2 year back when I was on a business trip to Munich (MUC), Germany. Thanks to some of German visitor cum colleague. They brought 2 loaves of stollen for us. Each bite really satisfies my taste bud… hehe
Well, I was told by my MUC colleague that we can only get to eat stollen during Christmas. So it’s kinda must try if you are in Germany during Christmas season. You can easily get to one during Christmas and it is available practically every where -Convenient shop, supermarket, bakery, and even in Christmas market.
Oh yes, let me describe what is a stollen. :-) Stollen is a bread-like cake traditionally made in Germany and it usually eaten during Christmas season as Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen. Stollen is a fruitcake made with a lot of ingredient such as yeast , flour, water & spies is a must!, raisin, dried citrus peel, dried fruits, almond, sunflower seeds… etc etc… emm, normally they put a lot of dried fruits in it. On top of the cake was a thin layer of icing sugar. Well, as usual, german’s foods are usually has very strong taste, very salty or very sweet… hehe… Stollen was a bit sweet ( I feel) but still it is very nice! Emm… but I read in the internet that the tradition stollen is supposed to be not sweet… perhaps they have modify the recipe or there too many types of stollen available in the market. Btw, the stollen is very heavy. Mostly weight in 2kg or more… you can always ask for half. Regarding the price… Actually I cannot recall the price of the stollen :P. If not mistaken the price range is like € 6 - € 20
