I've been struck by some of the food offered at the market. Some of it is stuff you can get at any bakery, but some of it is just so beautiful...it's hard not to eat constantly! I, personally, am on a mission to find the best mulled wine stall in the city. It's going to take a lot of hands-on research, but I think I'm up to the task! ;-)
Baked goods are the biggest offering. Gingerbread is a big deal here, and there are lots of different kinds, from small, bite-sized cookies to loaves of bread to gigantic cookies with elaborate decorations. Here's a stack of gingerbread loaves:
And a gigantic tourist cookie:
Freshly-baked goods are also available. I haven't tried one of these yet, but it's high on my list:
And one of our recent favorites, the "Swedish Bombs" or possibly something about a snowball, but we can't remember what the sign said. They're basically a fresh marshmallowy substance (picture marshmallow mixed with mousse) covered in chocolate and flavored. We may have passed these by without buying any, but then I was tempted to take this picture. The saleswoman yelled at me, and I felt so guilty that I felt like I should buy some. I'm glad I did!
We ended up with the following flavors: croquant (crunchy?), cinnamon, coconut, mint, rum, cafe mocha, and strawberry.
We'll get back to the regularly-scheduled program including pictures of us soon...the food is just too yummy to ignore, though!
