imagine a market where the booths are all from local bakeries and chocolateries displaying their tiny bits of goodness… how could we resist such an invitation? so we’ve spent some time today cruising their stalls, picking morsels here and there, and then sampling them on some sunny church steps, along with friends. perfect afternoon in my book!

“kalter hund”, or cold dog, is apparently a typical german sweet made of chocolate and crackers. reminded me of our portuguese chocolate salami, with a higher cracker to chocolate ratio :)

other yummy things we’ve tried:

the minute i knew hudsons cakes was going to be in the fair, i knew i wanted a slice of their “chocolate lausitzer porter” cake. we had tried it before, and it stuck with us. it’s so good, moist but not too chocolatey… just perfect.

like they say around here, lecker! :)
