Dresden
Christmas stollen--The German delicacy sent by my German friend Chilian |
The friendship between I and my
German friend Chilian has continued for nearly 20 years. He gift to me the
Lebkuchen in 2006, I have introduced
it to everyone. On Dec 13,2015, he sent email to me and tell me that
he mailed a Christmas gift "a traditional christmas cake made in the
city of Dresden " to me. |
| I know
nothing about "Dresden traditional christmas cake".But i believe
that It must be carefully considered by Chilian. After 24 days, I finally
receive the gift. I open its tight outer packing, a blue box shows. |

The text of the gift box

wt.26.5 oz. (750g). There are 4 languages to explanation. The English:

Original Dresden
Christmas stollen (fruit loaf) is fancy cake with a tradition which goas
back to the 15th century. the first documented referance was in an invoice
sent by Bartholomew the Baker to the Dresden Court in the year 1474 and
this document can be seen in the Dresden City Museum. The recipe has found
friends all over the world , but the unmistakeable original stollen can
only be found in Dresden. Every single one of these fine cakes is made
by hand, using traditinal Saxon baking skills. Ancient and proven recipes
combined withcarefully selected ingredients guarantee superbquality and
outstanding flavour. The ways in which you can enjoy your stollen are
as the tastes of those who enjoy them. Original stollen in an incomparable
treat for the gourmet's palate. In order to maintain its rich qualityfor
longer, keep your stollen in a cool place. |

| Out
of respect for this kind of mind of Mr.Chilian, I decided not to open the
blue box. Waiting in the outward to read the University of the two small grandchildren, holiday back home and family reunion in the
spring festival, together open it and enjoy and comment on the gift from
miles away. |
| February
6, 2016 is Chinese monkey year Eve, We opened the blue box with a curiosity. |
|
|
| In all
sorts of gossip guess, the children using a fruit knife cut it. We saw the
same profile as a pudding. |
|
| After
the tasting, all of us praised its taste. Not only the elderly like, two
grandchildren all said very good. After eating, but also want to eat again.
Worthy of hundreds of years of cultural heritage! |
|
| The
next day, I open its web
site according to that blue box. It is a German web site. I found that gift and some similarly products |
|
