Götterspeise (literally: dish / fare of the gods) is the german name for a dessert made of gelatine or other gelling agent, sugar, flavourings and food colouring, it is similar or identical to jelly or jello and other gelatin desserts. other german names include wackelpudding ("wobbly pudding") or wackelpeter ("wobbly peter"), green götterspeise is also known as froschsülze ("frog jelly"). götterspeise is usually eaten with whipped cream or vanilla sauce. the best-known flavours are the following: woodruff (waldmeister) – green raspberry (himbeere) – red cherry (kirsche) – red lemon (zitrone) – yellowthe green götterspeise is not coloured with woodruff, the latter only gives the dessert its characteristic aroma. because the coumarin contained in woodruff is toxic, only artificial woodruff flavouring is used in the trade. a special type of götterspeise is the triple-layered and three-coloured (red, yellow and green) ampelpudding ("traffic light pudding"), which is made using three layers of separately cooled flavours.

Kellerbier

Kellerbier is a type of german beer, a lager, which is typically neither clarified nor pasteurised. the term kellerbier literally translates as "cellar beer", referring to its cool lagering temperatures. its recipe probably dates to the middle ages. in comparison with most of today's filtered and pasteurised lagers, kellerbier contains more of its original brewing yeast, as well as vitamins, held in suspension. as a result, it is distinctly cloudy, and is described by german producers as naturtrüb (naturally cloudy).kellerbier and its related form zwickelbier are often served directly from the barrel (for example, in a beer garden) but may be bottled as well.

Milbenkäse

Milbenkäse ("mite cheese"), called mellnkase in the local dialect and often known (erroneously) as spinnenkäse ("spider cheese"), is a german speciality cheese. it is made by flavouring balls of quark (a type of soft cheese) with caraway and salt, allowing them to dry, and then leaving them in a wooden box containing rye flour and cheese mites for about three months. an enzyme in the digestive juices excreted by the mites causes the cheese to ripen.milbenkäse is said to taste similar to harzer cheese, but with a bitter note (increasing with age) and a distinctive zesty aftertaste. mites clinging to the cheese rind are consumed along with the cheese. historically, the cheese was produced in the zeitz and altenburg districts of the saxony-anhalt / thuringia border region; today it is produced exclusively in the village of würchwitz, in the state of saxony-anhalt. the traditional method of making milbenkäse, which dates back to the middle ages, was nearly lost by 1970, with only the elderly liesbeth brauer knowing the technique. local science teacher helmut pöschel was taught the proper way to make it and together with his associate, christian schmelzer, succeeded in revitalizing the tradition. a cheese mite memorial was later erected at würchwitz to celebrate the renaissance of milbenkäse production.
