heehee, yep the gingerbread is very rich indeed. The original Elisen Lebkuchen may contain only ten percent flour, not more. They are made from ground nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts..), honey, candied orange and lemon peels, spices... There's other types that are allowed to be made with more than 10% flour. If you buy them from a high quality baker or gingerbread manufacturer they taste great, too, but the mass ones at the supermarket aren't that good.
The other stuff you can see in the pics (where the sign says "Früchtebrot") is fruitcake. It's got figs, dates, apricots, hazelnuts...

it's a 'traditional' German New Years sketch, only we don't have a sense of humour, so we had to import some Brits to do it for us :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

LOL Sleepy, you look so funny on that pic!! You look a little anxious, you look like a little bunny standing in the middle of the road and seeing that a car is coming right towards its direction. :D

Thanks for promoting my video thread, Sleepy!

And a very special HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and all visitors of the 'Kraut' thread!

Adding to all those German treasures, I should post a picture of Heidelberg Castle, but I'm not in town at the moment, but I'll try to take one when I'm back there :nod:.

Ba-Wü it is, but originally, I'm from the North (Westphalia), which is much nicer anyway than Bavaria where everyone utters uncomprehensible gibberish :p.
