Celebrating the New Year, USA vs Germany

Happy new Year | Welcome 2017Both countries do love big and colorful parties, but the traditions at home do vary a bit between the Unites states and here in Germany.

The big rush before the party starts, and the shopping madness is international; and even in the capital of holidays, Germany, the 31st of December is a normal working day. Although most stores close early.

Once the guests arrive, the party takes off with music, good food and plenty of drinks to keep you happy. While the American party will most likely have the TV tuned to New York, for the big celebrations, Germans usually like it a little cozier with a timeless classic, the sketch “Dinner for One.” James, a clumsy Butler, trips repeatedly over the tiger’s head.

Christmas menu (for 4 persons)

Christmas menu

Lentil salad with root vegetables. Apple, walnuts, smoked trout filet from the Black Forest and chips from the Allgaeu mountain cheese

Medallion of venison “Baden-Baden” with spaetzle and red cabbage

Small, fried apple ring cakes with apple syrup and cinnamon parfait

For a stress-free cooking day for the Christmas menu, I recommend to prepare the red cabbage, the cinnamon parfait as well as the sauce for the medallion of venison one day before the actual preparation. It makes it much easier to work with the actual menu!

The Christmas Market in Esslingen,… a Step Back in Time

It won’t take long to realize that the Esslingen market is different from other markets you may visit in Europe.  Visiting the Esslingen Christmas market is like stepping back into the medieval ages.  The market is surrounded by half-timbered wooden houses dating back from the 13th to 16th centuries that will surprise and delight you, and costumed performers stroll the streets alongside of period-dressed vendors. Aside from the many visitors, over 1 million people visited last year, you get a feeling of traveling back to the Middle Ages.
