We have special food like Sauerkraut, Bratwurst, Grünkohl but it is too difficult to take it with me to Guadeloupe. So I thought about my living place and I realized that there is a big factory for cakes and biscuits in Hanover called Bahlsen which is well known for Leibniz Butterkeks. You can eat them the whole day but normally you take them for tea time in the afternoon. The kids start to eat it early in their childhood. There is also a biscuit as a sort of waffle which has the name of my town: Hannover Waffeln. Typical is also the whole grain bread (Schwarzbrot) which is very strong and filling.

It's traditional in my region and has even been placed on the EU Traditional Specialities list. I'll try to bring a few smaller ones and I hope they will survive the trip.]]> 2018-12-11 19:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/313595408 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/313599743 Another great product is long, thin, dry sausage made of pork, beef or horse meat. They are smoky in flavor, and can be soft or very dry in texture. They can be a great snack.]]> 2018-12-11 19:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/313599743 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/313600667 And finally, something for those who have a sweet tooth. These Jaffa cakes are sponge cakes with orange jelly on top, covered in chocolate. I'll bring a few packets.]]> 2018-12-11 19:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/313600667 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/316887768 I bring along a typical meat speciality that comes from the southern region of Germany, a Black Forest ham. This will fit with a strong tasting bread, a pumpernickel (a whole grain bread) , which comes from the Westphalian region of Germany. Of course, the right drink should not be missing, a beer from our home region (Siegen), a Krombacher beer. As you know, Germany is very popular for all the varities of beer, in our region are the light ones most popular, so called „Pils“. ]]> 2018-12-30 17:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/316887768 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/316894046 I will bring along Ouzo ( uzo) which is a dry anise-flavoured aperitif that is widely consumed in Greece. Ouzo is often served with a small plate of a variety of appetizers called mezes, usually small fresh fish, fries, olives and feta cheese .

Similar brined white cheeses are often made partly or wholly of cow's milk, and they are sometimes also called feta. It is a crumbly aged  cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. Feta is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads ]]> 2018-12-30 20:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/316894377 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/316894475 Last but not least on my list are the olives. Greece produces excellent quality olive oil and olives. The olives are consumed on a daily basis in salads or are eaten with bread.]]> 2018-12-30 20:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/316894475 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/317652270 Annette and me are from the same school, so I just write something about our sweets. They are called  Rubenskugeln, are made of marzipan from Lübeck, red wine trüffel creme and full - cream milk  chocolate.  They are  named after the famous painter from Siegen Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640). Right now my tablet is very slow  so that I can't upload any pictures, perhaps later. ]]> 2019-01-06 12:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/317652270 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/318590160 Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea is made up of three courses of food with a pot of tea. There's the savoury course with sandwiches, the scones course served with clotted cream and jam, and finally, the third course of sweet pastries or cakes.

Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o'clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner.

In Britain today Afternoon Tea is usually enjoyed as a treat or to celebrate a special event. ]]> 2019-01-08 22:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/318590160 https://padlet.com/rita100/gbw9wd3m41su/wish/319075270 What a fantastic first day, meeting other colleagues from other countries in an amazing place to share our countries food and or perspectives of the course .
