Feuerzangenbowle

Well, once again one of these very long words German is known for. But in this case it stands for a really tasty German tradition... a punch made of red wine, rum, herbs and this burning sugar cone. While it is burning the caramelized sugar is dripping into the punch and gives it this fantastic taste. And it looks pretty as well :-)

So last Wednesday I had one of these with my friends, talking about all these long German words and the old cult movie from which every German student knows this tradition of burning sugar cones... and of course the headache at the next morning ;-) Prost!
