Blauburgunder

Pinot noir (french: [pino nwaʁ]) is a red-wine grape variety of the species vitis vinifera. the name may also refer to wines created predominantly from pinot noir grapes. the name is derived from the french words for pine and black. the word pine alludes to the grape variety having tightly clustered, pine cone–shaped bunches of fruit.pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, mostly in cooler climates, and the grape is chiefly associated with the burgundy region of france. pinot noir is now used to make red wines around the world, as well as champagne, sparkling white wines such as the italian franciacorta, and english sparkling wines. regions that have gained a reputation for red pinot noir wines include the willamette valley of oregon; the carneros, central coast, sonoma coast, and russian river avas of california; the elgin and walker bay wine regions of south africa; the mornington peninsula, adelaide hills, great southern, tasmania, and yarra valley in australia; and the central otago, martinborough, and marlborough wine regions of new zealand. pinot noir is the most planted varietal (38%) used in sparkling wine production in champagne and other wine regions.pinot noir is a difficult variety to cultivate and transform into wine. the grape's tendency to produce tightly packed clusters makes it susceptible to several viticultural hazards involving rot that require diligent canopy management. the thin skins and low levels of phenolic compounds lend pinot to producing mostly lightly colored, medium-bodied and low-tannin wines that can often go through phases of uneven and unpredictable aging. when young, wines made from pinot noir tend to have red-fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. as the wine ages, pinot has the potential to develop more vegetal and "barnyard" aromas that can contribute to the complexity of the wine.

Blaufränkisch

Blaufränkisch (german for blue frankish) is a dark-skinned variety of grape used for red wine. blaufränkisch, which is a late-ripening variety, produces red wines which are typically rich in tannin and may exhibit a pronounced spicy character.the grape is grown across central europe, including austria, czech republic (in particular southern moravia where it is known as frankovka), germany, slovakia (where it is known as frankovka modrá), croatia, serbia (frankovka), slovenia (known as modra frankinja), and italy (franconia). in hungary the grape is called kékfrankos (also lit. blue frankish) and is grown in a number of wine regions including sopron, villány, szekszárd, and eger (where it is a major ingredient in the famous red wine blend known as egri bikavér (lit. bull's blood) having largely replaced the kadarka grape). it has been called "the pinot noir of the east" because of its spread and reputation in eastern europe. in america the grape is also known as lemberger, blauer limberger or blue limberger and grown in pennsylvania, washington state, michigan, new jersey, idaho, new york, colorado, ohio, virginia. and california,dna profiling has shown that blaufränkisch is a cross between gouais blanc (weißer heunisch; male parent) and blaue zimmettraube (female parent; the offspring of blauer gänsfüsser). historical sources of grapevine classification have provided very solid evidence that the geographic area of origin of the variety is lower styria (today slovenian styria). for a long time before the application of dna analysis, blaufränkisch was erroneously thought to be a clone of the gamay grape variety, due to certain similarities in morphology and possibly due to its name gamé in bulgaria.the german name lemberger derives from the fact that it was imported to germany in the 19th century from lemberg in lower styria in present-day slovenia and then in the austro-hungarian empire. an 1877 export of lembergerreben to germany has been recorded. the almost identical name limberger refers to limburg at maissau in lower austria, where in the late 19th century "ungrafted limberg blaufränkisch vines" (wurzelechte limberger blaufränkisch-reben) were offered for sale.

Brotsuppe

Bread soup is a simple soup that mainly consists of stale bread. variations exist in many countries, and it is often eaten during lent. both brown and white bread may be used.the basis for bread soup is traditionally either meat soup or vegetable broth. less often it is made with fish broth. to prepare the dish, the bread is either cut into pieces and put directly into the broth, or it is cooked with onions and spices in a broth and then pureed. some versions add bacon, egg and cream, others liver sausage or blood sausage. a common version of the dish is prepared from the broth remaining from the steeping of sausage during home butchering of pigs. the soup is then traditionally seasoned with marjoram. an italian variation, millefanti, also uses egg and parmesan cheese. some fine variations contain wine. other, more rustic, versions contain malt or beer.

Cabbage

Cabbage, comprising several cultivars of brassica oleracea, is a leafy green, red (purple), or white (pale green) biennial plant grown as an annual vegetable crop for its dense-leaved heads. it is descended from the wild cabbage (b. oleracea var. oleracea), and belongs to the "cole crops" or brassicas, meaning it is closely related to broccoli and cauliflower (var. botrytis); brussels sprouts (var. gemmifera); and savoy cabbage (var. sabauda). a cabbage generally weighs between 500 to 1,000 grams (1 to 2 lb). smooth-leafed, firm-headed green cabbages are the most common, with smooth-leafed purple cabbages and crinkle-leafed savoy cabbages of both colours being rarer. under conditions of long sunny days, such as those found at high northern latitudes in summer, cabbages can grow quite large. as of 2012, the heaviest cabbage was 62.71 kilograms (138 lb 4 oz). cabbage heads are generally picked during the first year of the plant's life cycle, but plants intended for seed are allowed to grow a second year and must be kept separate from other cole crops to prevent cross-pollination. cabbage is prone to several nutrient deficiencies, as well as to multiple pests, and bacterial and fungal diseases. cabbage was most likely domesticated somewhere in europe before 1000 bc, although savoys were not developed until the 16th century ad. by the middle ages, cabbage had become a prominent part of european cuisine. they can be prepared many different ways for eating; they can be pickled, fermented (for dishes such as sauerkraut), steamed, stewed, roasted, sautéed, braised, or eaten raw. raw cabbage is a rich source of vitamin k, vitamin c, and dietary fiber. world production of cabbage and other brassicas in 2020 was 71 million tonnes, led by china with 48% of the total.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay (uk: , us: , french: [ʃaʁdɔnɛ] (listen)) is a green-skinned grape variety used in the production of white wine. the variety originated in the burgundy wine region of eastern france, but is now grown wherever wine is produced, from england to new zealand. for new and developing wine regions, growing chardonnay is seen as a 'rite of passage' and an easy entry into the international wine market.the chardonnay grape itself is neutral, with many of the flavors commonly associated with the wine being derived from such influences as terroir and oak. it is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of chablis, france, to new world wines with oak and tropical fruit flavors. in cool climates (such as chablis and the carneros ava of california), chardonnay wine tends to be medium to light body with noticeable acidity and flavors of green plum, apple, and pear. in warmer locations (such as the adelaide hills and mornington peninsula in australia and gisborne and marlborough region of new zealand), the flavors become more citrus, peach, and melon, while in very warm locations (such as the central coast ava of california), more fig and tropical fruit notes such as banana and mango come out. wines that have gone through malolactic fermentation tend to have softer acidity and fruit flavors with buttery mouthfeel and hazelnut notes.chardonnay is an important component of many sparkling wines around the world, including champagne and franciacorta in italy. chardonnay's popularity peaked in the late 1980s, then gave way to a backlash among those wine connoisseurs who saw the grape as a leading negative component of the globalization of wine. nonetheless, it is one of the most widely planted grape varieties, with 210,000 hectares (520,000 acres) worldwide, second only to airén among white wine grapes and fifth among all wine grapes.

Cheese

Cheese is a dairy product produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. it comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. during production, milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of either rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. the solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. over a thousand types of cheese exist and are produced in various countries. their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and how long they have been aged for. herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. the yellow to red color of many cheeses is produced by adding annatto. other ingredients may be added to some cheeses, such as black pepper, garlic, chives or cranberries. a cheesemonger, or specialist seller of cheeses, may have expertise with selecting the cheeses, purchasing, receiving, storing and ripening them.for a few cheeses, the milk is curdled by adding acids such as vinegar or lemon juice. most cheeses are acidified to a lesser degree by bacteria, which turn milk sugars into lactic acid, then the addition of rennet completes the curdling. vegetarian alternatives to rennet are available; most are produced by fermentation of the fungus mucor miehei, but others have been extracted from various species of the cynara thistle family. non-vegetarian cheese has a high carbon footprint. cheesemakers near a dairy region may benefit from fresher, lower-priced milk, and lower shipping costs. cheese is valued for its portability, long shelf life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. cheese is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk, although how long a cheese will keep depends on the type of cheese. hard cheeses, such as parmesan, last longer than soft cheeses, such as brie or goat's milk cheese. the long storage life of some cheeses, especially when encased in a protective rind, allows selling when markets are favorable. vacuum packaging of block-shaped cheeses and gas-flushing of plastic bags with mixtures of carbon dioxide and nitrogen are used for storage and mass distribution of cheeses in the 21st century.

Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain flowering plants in the coffea genus. from the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. the seeds are then roasted, a process which transforms them into a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into fine particles that are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, producing a cup of coffee. coffee is darkly colored, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, french press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). it is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. sugar, sugar substitutes, milk or cream are often used to lessen the bitter taste or enhance the flavor. it may be served with coffee cake or another sweet dessert, like doughnuts. a commercial establishment that sells prepared coffee beverages is known as a coffeehouse or coffee shop (not to be confused with dutch coffeeshops selling cannabis). clinical research indicates that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial as a stimulant in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption has positive or negative effects.though coffee is now a global commodity, it has a long history tied closely to food traditions around the red sea. the earliest credible evidence of the drinking of coffee in the form of the modern beverage appears in modern-day yemen from the mid-15th century in sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to current methods. the yemenis procured the coffee beans from the ethiopian highlands via coastal somali intermediaries and began cultivation. by the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the middle east and north africa, later spreading to europe. in the 20th century, coffee became a much more global commodity, creating different coffee cultures around the world. the two most commonly grown coffee bean types are c. arabica and c. robusta. coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the americas, southeast asia, the indian subcontinent, and africa. as of 2018, brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing 35% of the world total. coffee is a major export commodity as the leading legal agricultural export for numerous countries. it is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. green, unroasted coffee is the most traded agricultural commodity and one of the most traded commodities overall, second only to petroleum. despite the sales of coffee reaching billions of dollars, those actually producing the beans are disproportionately living in poverty. critics also point to the coffee industry's negative impact on the environment and the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use. the environmental costs and wage disparity of farmers are causing the market for fair trade and organic coffee to expand.

Fish stew

Fish soup is a food made by combining fish or seafood with vegetables and stock, juice, water, or another liquid. hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth. traditionally, soups are classified into two main groups: clear soups and thick soups. the established french classifications of clear soups are bouillon and consommé. thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: bisques are made from puréed shellfish or vegetables thickened with cream; cream soups may be thickened with béchamel sauce; and veloutés are thickened with eggs, butter, and cream. other ingredients commonly used to thicken soups and broths include rice, lentils, flour, and grains; many popular soups also include carrots and potatoes. fish soups are similar to fish stews, and in some cases there may not be a clear distinction between the two; however, fish soups generally have more liquid than stews.fish soups have been made since early times. some soups are served with large chunks of fish or vegetables left in the liquid, while a broth is a flavored liquid usually derived from simmering a food or vegetable for a period of time in a stock. bisques are heavy cream soups traditionally prepared with shellfish, but can be made with any type of seafood or puree of vegetables or fruits. cream soups are flavored broths thickened with a white sauce. although they may be consumed on their own, or with a meal, the canned, condensed form of cream soup is sometimes used as a quick sauce in a variety of meat and pasta convenience food dishes, such as casseroles. similar to a bisque, chowders are thick soups usually containing seafood and potatoes, milk and cream.

Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer (german: [ɡəˈvʏʁtstʁaˈmiːnɐ]) is an aromatic wine grape variety, used in white wines, and performs best in cooler climates. in english, it is sometimes referred to colloquially as gewürz (; although this is never the case in german, because "gewürz" means "herb" or "spice"), and in english and french it is written gewurztraminer (without the umlaut). gewürztraminer is a variety with a pink to red skin colour, which makes it a "white wine grape" as opposed to the blue to black-skinned varieties commonly referred to as "red wine grapes". the variety has high natural sugar and the wines are white and usually off-dry, with a flamboyant bouquet of lychees. indeed, gewürztraminer and lychees share the same aroma compounds. dry gewürztraminers may also have aromas of roses, passion fruit and floral notes. it is not uncommon to notice some spritz (fine bubbles on the inside of the glass). gewürztraminer's sweetness may offset the spice in southeast asian cuisine.

A gugelhupf (also kugelhupf, guglhupf, gugelhopf, and, in france, kouglof, kougelhof, or kougelhopf) is a cake traditionally baked in a distinctive circular bundt mold that has a circular hole in the middle. there are three main types: cocoa; plain with a hint of vanilla and lemon zest; and a marbled combination of the two. it is popular in a wide region of central europe particularly in southern germany, alsace, austria, switzerland, croatia, hungary, bosnia, serbia, slovakia, slovenia, czech republic and poland. it is not closely related to the christmas cake in italy known as the pandoro nor to the american bundt cake as that is not yeast based. in the cuisine of the pennsylvania dutch it is known as deitscher kuche (german cake).in late medieval austria, a gugelhupf was served at major community events such as weddings, and was decorated with flowers, leaves, candles, and seasonal fruits. the name persisted through the austro-hungarian empire, eventually becoming standardized in viennese cookbooks as a refined, rich cake, flavored with rosewater and almond. many regional variations exist, testifying to the widespread popularity of the gugelhupf tradition. several narratives claim the origin of the cake in roman times with a spurious claim relating even further back to the three wise men. the cake was popularized as a prestige pastry by emperor franz joseph of austria and was popularized in france by marie-antoinette. the gugelhupf was the sweet chosen to represent austria in the café europe initiative of the austrian presidency of the european union, on europe day 2006.

Potato

The potato is a starchy tuber of the plant solanum tuberosum and is a root vegetable native to the americas. the plant is a perennial in the nightshade family solanaceae.wild potato species can be found from the southern united states to southern chile. the potato was originally believed to have been domesticated by native americans independently in multiple locations, but later genetic studies traced a single origin, in the area of present-day southern peru and extreme northwestern bolivia. potatoes were domesticated there approximately 7,000–10,000 years ago, from a species in the solanum brevicaule complex. in the andes region of south america, where the species is indigenous, some close relatives of the potato are cultivated. potatoes were introduced to europe from the americas in the second half of the 16th century by the spanish. today they are a staple food in many parts of the world and an integral part of much of the world's food supply. as of 2014, potatoes were the world's fourth-largest food crop after maize (corn), wheat, and rice. following millennia of selective breeding, there are now over 5,000 different types of potatoes. over 99% of potatoes presently cultivated worldwide descended from varieties that originated in the lowlands of south-central chile. the importance of the potato as a food source and culinary ingredient varies by region and is still changing. it remains an essential crop in europe, especially northern and eastern europe, where per capita production is still the highest in the world, while the most rapid expansion in production over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern asia, with china and india leading the world in overall production as of 2018. like the tomato, the potato is a nightshade in the genus solanum, and the vegetative and fruiting parts of the potato contain the toxin solanine which is dangerous for human consumption. normal potato tubers that have been grown and stored properly produce glycoalkaloids in amounts small enough to be negligible to human health, but, if green sections of the plant (namely sprouts and skins) are exposed to light, the tuber can accumulate a high enough concentration of glycoalkaloids to affect human health.

Riesling (, ; german: [ˈʁiːslɪŋ] (listen)) is a white grape variety that originated in the rhine region. riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. it is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wines. riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked. as of 2004, riesling was estimated to be the world's 20th most grown variety at 48,700 hectares (120,000 acres) (with an increasing trend), but in terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included in the "top three" white wine varieties together with chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. riesling is a variety that is highly "terroir-expressive", meaning that the character of riesling wines is greatly influenced by the wine's place of origin. in cool climates (such as many german wine regions), riesling wines tend to exhibit apple and tree fruit notes with noticeable levels of acidity that are sometimes balanced with residual sugar. a late-ripening variety that can develop more citrus and peach notes is grown in warmer climates (such as alsace and parts of austria). in australia, riesling is often noted for a characteristic lime note that tends to emerge in examples from the clare valley and eden valley in south australia. riesling's naturally high acidity and pronounced fruit flavors give wines made from the grape exceptional aging potential, with well-made examples from favorable vintages often developing smokey, honey notes, and aged german rieslings, in particular, taking on a "petrol" character.in 2015, riesling was the most grown variety in germany with 23.0% and 23,596 hectares (58,310 acres), and in the french region of alsace with 21.9% and 3,350 hectares (8,300 acres). in germany, the variety is particularly widely planted in the mosel, rheingau, nahe and pfalz wine regions. there are also significant plantings of riesling in austria, slovenia, serbia, czech republic, slovakia, luxembourg, northern italy, australia, new zealand, canada, south africa, china, ukraine, and the united states (washington, california, michigan and new york).

Rösti

Rösti or rööschti (alemannic german: [ˈrøːʃti]) is a swiss dish consisting mainly of potatoes, sautéed or shallow-fried in a pan. it was originally a breakfast dish, commonly eaten by farmers in the canton of bern, but is now eaten all over switzerland and around the world. the french name röstis bernois makes direct reference to the origins of the dish. many swiss people consider rösti to be a national dish. rather than considering it a complete breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is more commonly served to accompany other dishes such as spinat und spiegelei (spinach and fried eggs, sunny side up), cervelas or fleischkäse. it is commonly available in swiss restaurants as a replacement for the standard side dish of a given meal.

Salat

A salad is a dish consisting of mixed, mostly natural ingredients with at least one raw ingredient. they are often dressed, and typically served at room temperature or chilled, though some can be served warm. garden salads use a base of leafy greens such as lettuce, arugula/rocket, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. other types include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, greek salad (vegetable-based, but without leafy greens), and sōmen salad (a noodle-based salad). salads may be served at any point during a meal: appetizer salads—light, smaller-portion salads served as the first course of the meal side salads—to accompany the main course as a side dish; examples include potato salad and coleslaw main course salads—usually containing a portion of one or more high-protein foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, legumes, or cheese dessert salads—sweet salads containing fruit, gelatin, sweeteners or whipped creamwhen a sauce is used to flavor a salad, it is generally called a salad dressing; most salad dressings are based on either a mixture of oil and vinegar or a creamy dairy base.

Sauerbraten

Sauerbraten is a traditional german roast of heavily marinated meat. it is regarded as a national dish of germany, and is frequently served in german-style restaurants internationally. it can be prepared from a variety of meats, most often from beef, but also from venison, lamb and mutton, pork and horse. before cooking, the raw meat is marinated for three to ten days in a mixture of vinegar or wine, water, herbs, spices, and seasonings. usually, tougher cuts of meat, such as rump roast or bottom round of beef, are used, and the long marinating tenderizes the meat. a sauerbraten dinner is almost always accompanied by a hearty gravy resulting from its roasting and is most often served with potato pancakes (kartoffelpuffer), potato dumplings (kartoffelklöße), or spätzle.ingredients used in the marinade, and accompaniments served with sauerbraten, vary across regions. regional variants of the dish include those from baden, franconia, thuringia, rhineland, saarland, silesia, and swabia.

Drink

Soft drinks

A soft drink (see § terminology for other names) is a drink that usually contains water (often carbonated), a sweetener, and a natural and/or artificial flavoring. the sweetener may be a sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, a sugar substitute (in the case of diet drinks), or some combination of these. soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives, and/or other ingredients. soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast with "hard" alcoholic drinks. small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume of the drink in many countries and localities if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. types of soft drinks include lemon-lime drinks, orange soda, cola, grape soda, ginger ale, and root beer. soft drinks may be served cold, over ice cubes, or at room temperature. they are available in many container formats, including cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. containers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small bottles to large multi-liter containers. soft drinks are widely available at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, convenience stores, casual-dining restaurants, dedicated soda stores, vending machines, and bars from soda fountain machines. within a decade of the invention of carbonated water by joseph priestley in 1767 inventors in britain and in europe had used his concept to produce the drink in greater quantities, with one such inventor, j. j. schweppe, forming schweppes in 1783 and selling the world's first bottled soft drink. soft drink brands founded in the 19th century include r. white's lemonade in 1845, dr pepper in 1885 and coca-cola in 1886. subsequent brands include pepsi, irn-bru, sprite, fanta and 7 up.

Spargel

Asparagus, or garden asparagus, folk name sparrow grass, scientific name asparagus officinalis, is a perennial flowering plant species in the genus asparagus. its young shoots are used as a spring vegetable. it was once classified in the lily family, like the related allium species, onions and garlic. however, genetic research places lilies, allium, and asparagus in three separate families—the liliaceae, amaryllidaceae, and asparagaceae, respectively— the amaryllidaceae and asparagaceae are grouped together in the order asparagales. sources differ as to the native range of asparagus officinalis, but generally include most of europe and western temperate asia. it is widely cultivated as a vegetable crop.

Sylvaner

Sylvaner or silvaner is a variety of white wine grape grown primarily in alsace and germany, where its official name is grüner silvaner. while the alsatian versions have primarily been considered simpler wines, it was included among the varieties that can be used to produce alsace grand cru wine in 2006, together with the four 'noble grapes' of alsace, although only in one vineyard, zotzenberg. this dichotomy is explained by the vigour of the sylvaner vine and the grape's neutral flavour, which can lead to blandness unless yields are controlled. on the other hand, it gives a blank canvas for the expression of terroir, and on good sites with skilled winemaking, sylvaner can produce elegant wines. it has high acidity but naturally reaches high must weights, so is often blended with other varieties such as riesling or elbling, and is sometimes made into a dessert wine.

Drink

Tea

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to china, india and other east asian countries. tea is also rarely made from the leaves of camellia taliensis. after water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. there are many different types of tea; some have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour, while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes. tea has a stimulating effect in humans primarily due to its caffeine content.tea plants are native to east asia and probably originated in the borderlands of southwestern china and northern burma. an early credible record of tea drinking dates to the third century ad, in a medical text written by hua tuo. it was popularised as a recreational drink during the chinese tang dynasty, and tea drinking subsequently spread to other east asian countries. portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to europe during the 16th century. during the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among the english, who started to plant tea on a large scale in india. the term herbal tea refers to drinks not made from camellia sinensis. they are the infusions of fruit, leaves, or other plant parts, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. these may be called tisanes or herbal infusions to prevent confusion with tea made from the tea plant.

Zimtsterne

A zimtstern (german for "cinnamon star"; pl.: zimtsterne) is a christmas cookie, originally from swabia in southwest germany, made from foam of whipped egg white, sugar, at least 25% almonds, cinnamon and a maximum of 10% flour. it is most popular in germany and switzerland.cookies of this kind are called plätzchen or weihnachtsgebäck ("christmas cookies") in german. the ingredients are used to make a compact dough that is easy to roll out. after drying, an egg white glaze is applied and the stars are cut out. these are baked on baking trays over low heat, whereby the egg white glaze only coagulates and does not take on any darker color. according to old cookbooks, the egg white is whipped to loosen it and lifted under the dough. the egg white and sugar (meringue) glaze is also whipped. this procedure is no longer in widespread use today.although most varieties of plätzchen appeared in the 19th century to decorate the christmas tree, cinnamon stars were not originally associated with christmas and date back to the 16th century at the latest. there are mentions that in 1536 the emperor of holy roman emperor charles v was served "delicious" cinnamon stars when visiting cardinal lorenzo campeggio. cinnamon in those days was an extremely expensive spice: in 1530 the augsburg merchant anton fugger decided to demonstrate his wealth to the emperor by burning charles v's promissory notes on a fire made of cinnamon sticks.
