The first thing that I'll be trying today is Butter Spekulatius. Is butter spelled the
same in German and in English? I'm so excited! Okay. I'm so excited. Action. I went on Twitter
and on...okay, no. False start.
I asked on Twitter and on Facebook...
So we've got...I don't know. Some sort of a design. The taste is all that matters.
Aaah! So Mr. German Man just informed me: they are held like this. Now I see the figure.
Okay, this way it kind of looked like a train or maybe an LKV. Like a truck or something
like that. But that makes a lot more sense. Whatever. I eat the head off.
And as a kind of...
Why do they make these things so difficult to get into?
Without them exploding everywhere.
Is there rum in these?
Delicious marzipan.
Thanks so much for watching, and thank you all so much for your recommendations of which
Christmas German...German Christmas.
And Aachener...what are they? Kräuter Printen. I keep thinking it's a printer. Like a Kräuter
printer...a printer that prints Kräuter.
There are also these little things inside of it.
These...I don't know what they are.
These little, um, they look like little pebbles, but I'm sure they're not. Are those the Gewürz?
Little dark chunks of something.
Oh, maybe those are just big chunks of sugar! Oh, I like those!
Now, when people suggested that I try Baumkuchen, I thought that they were talking about those
chimney cakes, the yeasty, doughy, warm, fresh...what are they called in German? Striez'n. Striez'n.
But when I look it up on Wikipedia, Baumkuchen, it shows that it's that.
Time for Marzipankartoffeln. These don't look like potatoes.
Why do they make these things so hard to get into?
There's a red corner. No, it says "Hier aufziehen."
It says "Hier aufziehen." I'll try the red corner.
They're freaking tricking you! It says "Hier aufziehen,"
and yet when you do that, it comes off right away. When you go for the red corner.
Christmas trick for you: go for the red corner.
Very tasty Marzipankartoffeln...Kartoffeln. Marzipanerdapfel. Isn't that the other word
for potato? Erdmännchen? Erdapfel? Erdapfel. Not Erdmännchen. We are Erdmännchen. No?
What are Erdmännchen? Oh ground squirrels are Erdmännchen, not us. We're also Earth people.
Alright. Marzipankartoffeln, very delicious. Yeah.
Okay, next we have Vanillekipferl. Kipferl. Kipferl? Vanillekipferl.
We have some tasty little vanilla crescent cookies. Kipferl. Kipferl. Kip...tell me if I'm having success.
This is such an impossible word! Why would you put a P and then an F next to each other?
Kipferl. Kipferl. Kipferl. Kipferl. Kipferl. Kipferl. Kipferl. ***! I can't speak any language!
We have this. Read it at home for yourself.
