Talking about the Lebkuchen on the last blog reminded me of the German Christmas Market I went to in Birmingham, England a few years ago. I thought it would be good to show the cookies again, since I mentioned them. This shows the more hard/brittle Lebkuchenbroten, with the writing on them.



Mohrenkoepfe - I am classifying these as cookies, at the moment. I think these are my second favourite after the pine seed cookies. I found out that kids in Germany sometimes get these as a sandwich. WOW!

Shrewbury cakes another favourite from Blighty! I made them for Christmas last year.
