Food, food, food

One characteristic about the younger generation that Don and I have noticed is that they not only appreciate good food, they take pictures of it. And then they write about it. A lot.

Not to be outdone, we joined the trend. As we toured Europe, we took pictures of many beautiful foods. Unfortunately, we can't always remember what the dishes were called. Nevertheless, we continued taking pictures of our meals. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some of the foods with you.

Probably the most spectacular dish we ate was a Salzberger Nockerl. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture of that spectacular dish until it was nearly gone. It is a meringue dessert, filled with a sugary egg mixture and served with raspberry sauce, that, if cooked correctly, has three meringue peaks that represent the three mountains that surround Salzberg. The picture only shows one of the peaks . . . the other two were already gone!

We liked Salzberger Nockerl so much that we experimented with it Thursday, and I am serving it to some friends tonight (after a Greek dinner . . . more on that later). Yum. Especially when served with homemade raspberry jelly. And it isn't nearly as hard to make as it looks!
