We were eating all day long

What did we like best about the Nuremberg Christmas Market? The snow, the Christmas decorations, the holiday music? Hands-down, I think it was the FOOD. We fell in love with these "Nuremberg" bratwursts (sausage sandwiches) - I am not sure what they do differently, but these were the best sausage sandwiches we have eaten since we have been in Germany. Three little grilled sausages on a kaiser roll with mustard. We had these sausages for three meals running.



Then, of course, there was the gingerbread,





roasted nuts of all kinds (the smell was really what I like the best although Buddy did make a couple of purchases),



and gluwhein (hot spiced red wine). The market vendors served the gluwhein in these little ceramic Christmas mugs that are sorta like souvenir cups. Still, I think the heat of the mug on my fingers was even better than the taste.

For those of you more blessed in the culinary department than I, I'll plan on posting some Christmas recipes for some of the food items we've eaten at the Christmas markets. I know my efforts would not result in the same things we've munched on at the markets, but you'll probably have better luck than me.
