Warming Gluhwein....

Just about everyone is out at their weihnachtsmarkt eating, drinking, socialising and doing the odd bit of shopping. It's a great place to be despite the particularly harsh winter in Europe this year. A great way to warm up is to stop at a gluhwein stall and enjoy a cup of this hot, sweet, fruity, spicy red wine. Before you know it, it's feeling like it's at least 0 C!

Delicious Dinnele at the Konstanz weihnachtsmarkt...

Dinnele is a traditional German food of peasant origin. Served straight from the wood fired oven. I think this is my favourite food stall at the market - always great.

Hmmm, which one to have? Potato and cheese; garlic and cheese; vegetables and cheese or perhaps one with speck? I love the garlicky, oil that is spooned over before eating.
