When going on holiday, one simply can't do without trying the culinary specialities, at least some of them, of the place one's staying. Even better when one's traveling around a bit, as this means that one get's to try different things. And if one's visiting two areas such as the Black Forest and the Alsace, one's really in for a treat. Well, more than one, really :)
One simply can't pay a visit to the Black Forest without trying a slice of the famous Black Forest gateau.
The slices are huge...
...but tend to vanish rather quickly :)
The Alsace region is famous for many culinary specialities. One of them are blueberries. I love blueberries. And this blueberry cake tasted as delicious as it looks :)
Honestly, I could have spent all day in that café!
This bakery, unfortunately, was closed. Tourists or no tourists, most shops still close for lunch, usually for a good two hours. And right they are in doing so! Even if it means that I don't get any délice myrtille.
Another speciality is the tarte flambée, or flammekueche. But I'm afraid it looked, and tasted, so well, that I completely forgot to take a picture...
And yes, I did do other things beside eat during my holiday! ;)
Do you have any idea how cruel this is? I've tried licking my monitor but it's just not the same. Please send me a Feuilleté Framboises and A large Black Forest Gateaux as soon as possible. Thank you.
