Today I am taking you to
Lübeck, in the extreme North of Germany, on the Baltic sea. Home to Niederegger.
Niederegger, founded 1806, is THE marzipan shop. You could say it's THE marzipan shop in the whole wide world. Even
Wikipedia says so. During Advent time, it is positively overflowing with little boxes of marzipan decorated with another German emblem, the nutcracker.
But you might prefer these little dwarves with their irresistible big noses...
Unless of course these smiling elk go straight to your heart...
Me, I like the angels.
And the father Christmases. They are so jolly!
See all those baskets on the table? Full of tiny marzipan specialities to hang on the Christmas tree.
How about a tomato Christmas? Just the right colours!
If you prefer fruit, they've got them too!
Cat and mouse? Looks like the mouse is teasing the cat!
Naturally, you can also buy some marzipan souvenirs such as these depictions of Lübeck's most famous landmark, the
Holstentor or western city gate, finished in 1477 at the height of the
hanseatic town's influence.
And do you know what? I don't even like marzipan!!!! I find it very hard however to resist the darling little decorations...

OK then, let's make a deal: when you are tired of looking at your marzipan, I will eat it.

Je n'ai qu'un mot à dire: " Aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhh!"
RépondreSupprimerC'est trop beau!! J'ai ramené un nutcracker de Fkft, deux pères nono, et plein de trucs à pendre à l'arbre..et toi, qu'as-tu mis dans tes valises? Marzipan , c'est bien pâte d'amande? Parce que j'en raffole! (....gros soupir.....)
Mail bien reçu, je te reponds dès que j'ai fini Cult! :))
It would seem that you enjoyed this particular shop in Lubeck. So many marzipan goodies and so little time. I don't know if I've ever had marzipan in my entire life. What have I been missing?
