Translation: Yum.
My friend Allison lives and studies in Switzerland, which (as you may know) is wedged in between Germany, Austria, Italy, and France. That’s a whole buncha Europe going on, in there! She came home for the holidays and gifted me with this famous German chocolate, which is… not at all translated. But Allison told me that this is the winter edition, and since today is the last day of 2009, I figured I’d post a picture before the chocolate lost its relevance.
Loosely translated, this is a spice cookie covered in chocolate. I LOVE spice cakes and cookies, so I was very excited to dig into this. I’m going to try to limit myself to one little square a day. TRY. That’s a New Year’s resolution if I ever heard one.
I thought the back was kind of hilariously inscrutable, so here’s a picture of that, too.
Knick-Pack!
The one time I went to a German-speaking country (Austria), I was quite confident that I’d be able to translate signs and such, because English is derived from German. If I broke down the long words into the shorter pieces that I recognized, I’d be a translatin’ fool.
But that was not the case. And I got very lost and took a train-bus thing toward the wrong place, until an old man who only seemed to know one word of English (“Helicopter!”) pointed me in the right direction.
Luckily, I can eat the chocolate without translating the wrapper. Or so I think.
