German Delights!

Doris left me sweets in my room! Everyone knows the Kinder brand but i had never heard of Kinder Country. It is chocolate coated puffed wheat and milk. It is actually really nice as its not to sweet, and for me (not a chocolate lover) this was great! After i said i liked them she gave me many more which i had to decline in order to try all the other ones! 

The long white sticks called 'Amicelli' are Italian sweets, essentially the same as chocolate fingers in Australia but in individual packets. They were very nice!

Finally the yellow label 'Pick Up' sweet is German and it was really nice. It was two milk arrowroot style biscuits with chocolate and caramel sandwiched in the middle! Yummm!

Breakfast in the Brinkmann family is the most important meal of the day. Every morning the table is set, and left like this until about lunch time. It has personalized engraved napkin rings, all the spreads and condiments left on a tray in the centre of the table, bread in a basket and then fresh coffee. It is the best! Its like being in a hotel every day haha! Typically for breakfast we have fresh bread with butter, nutella, mushroom paste or Spanish ham (cured ham similar to prosciutto).  They did however have weetbix in case i wanted an 'Australian Breakfast' but i was more interested in the other options.

This is the mushroom paste! It was amazing! It freaked me out at first that it was in a similar tin to tuna, but after trying it, all my concerns were gone! You can also mix it with cream to make that pasta sauce i mentioned earlier if you cant get the nice Italian bottle stuff!

Finally, this is just a photo of the of the cute oil tray they have in their kitchen! I would really like one of these in my house when i eventually have my own place! I think it looks great! Doris makes all her own salad dressing etc so its great having them all so accessable!
