Miscellaneous Off Topic Off Piste

All this talk of ski slopes and chocolate has got me thinking of the old Ice Magic commercial from about 40 years ago

And that, maybe because I need therapy, reminded me of a nice, round, warm Germknödel... Certainly the most comforting ski food known to man.

Never been skiing and can't see I ever will as my dodgy knees hurt at the thought of it.

I would be up for sitting in a chalet trying some Germknödel though!

I'm sure a couple of Germknödel would take your mind off your dodgy knees 🙂

Went skiing once, 60 yrs ago, cable car up to cafe at the top, tea and cakes, cable car back to bottom. Who needs skis.

Can't believe that they are known anywhere outside Austria.
The picture is good. No vanilla sauce, just lots of butter and poppy.
And the Powidl (plum jam) so hot that is melts your tongue.

BTW: "I don't care at all" is "Das ist mir komplett Powidl" in Austria.

I work for an Austrian company but only visited twice and never in the winter, so I didn't get a chance to try Germknödel. It was never even mentioned to me...

Maybe they don't trust the French to behave? Certainly they don't trust the English

They certainly don't and we make point of it. We have a reputation to keep.

I like the dark one but shops don't sell it, though it is available online.
Dark chocolate Bounty is the same never usually in the shops.

Dcb is also my favorite and I know how to improve it. Unfortunately I was never in the position to do that.
