Punch - is a rhum and fruit mix with added sugar and spices. It is served as an apéritif before starting a meal, both as a matter of tradition and because the drink itself is strongly alcoholic. 

A popular tradition is that “chacun prépare sa propre mort” (everyone prepares his own death). Instead of serving the mixed drink, the host puts out the ingredients, and everyone prepares the drink according to their own taste.

The ritual starts with knocks of the closed bottle "upside down" on the table (as much as the number on the bottom of the bottle shows you), then you open the bottle and drink it in one gulp witout using your hands.

We are going to try it (if ou want) ⭐️

In Germany people like to eat spread (called “Brotaufstrich”) as topping on bread for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is a huge variety made with cream cheese and vegetables like tomatoes or aubergine such as with spices like curry.
