Shaun arrived on Saturday and after quickly dropping off his luggage at home we headed straight over to the Christmas Market. We shared snacks, including grilled meat (on a huge stick), 1/2 meter wurst in a bun, Berliners of various flavors (vanilla, Toblerone, Bailey's) and of course glühwein. Matt and Shaun also tried the Feuerzangenbowle, a traditional German drink where a rum-soaked sugarloaf is set on fire and drips into mulled wine. The name translates literally to "fire-tongs punch". Theirs didn't have any fire or sugarloaf but it was pretty tasty (and a bit stronger than regular glühwein). Molly ordered a glühbier because we had to try it at least once. Yep, it's warm beer with a mulled wine taste. Not our favorite. Well, I think we got our fill of Christmas Markets this year!
