Stollen!

So today I was suprised to see a loaf of Stollen in the Supermarkt near my house. It's traditional German christmas bread, something I usually eat anyway every year since you can get it in the states. It's pretty much sweet bread with different things inside and powdered sugar on top. I think the best kind is when it has Marzipan inside yumm. (FYI Marzipan is a potato paste thing they eat in Germany, often times inside of chocolate. I used to hate it with a passion, but after years of exposure have come to really like it).

And lucky me, this one does have Marzipan inside! It's just funny because since Germany has no Thanksgiving or Halloween to market, they always start up on the christmas stuff ridiculously early. They even had Glühwein out. Kind of ridiculous I think, but at least I get to snatch up some of the best German christmas treats before I leave!
