Probably the tastiest thing you can find in Germany:

Apfelstrudel with vanilla ice cream!

This was homemade and with the ice cold cappuccino it was a perfect combo.

Julie Andrews in the late 1950s. Probably during the London run of My Fair Lady. Crazy what you can find in the depths of google.

Eierpunsch is a hot sweetened alcoholic drink from Germany that is commonly found at Christmas markets - but it’s easy to make at home. As usual, there are many variations. Here’s one recipe:

1 bottle of white wine (750 ml) ~ 4 eggs (or 8 yolks) ~ 5 tablespoons of sugar - 1 packet of vanilla sugar (or 2 tsp sugar + 1 tsp vanilla extract) ~ Pinch of cinnamon ~ 4 cloves ~ lemon juice ~ 250 ml of strong black tea ~ whipped cream ~ 50 ml dark rum (optional)

Prepare tea as usual; allow to cool. Whisk sugar into the eggs (or yolks) and add a little cold white wine; beat vigorously. Add vanilla sugar to the mix. Pour in the remaining white wine, cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice, and cooled tea. Optionally, add 50 ml of dark rum. Transfer mix to a pan and gently heat, but don’t let it heat too quickly, remove before it comes to the boil. The mix should be foaming. Remove cloves. Serve hot and foamy in a mug with whipped cream on top and a biscuit. Prost! :)

Der Gugelhupf is a South German, Austrian, Swiss and Alsatian marble cake or Bundt cake. It’s tall with the distinctive ring shape and it’s usually eaten with coffee or tea, at coffee breaks. It consists of a soft yeast dough with raisins, almonds, and Kirschwasser (cherry brandy). Some also contain candied fruits and nuts, or poppy seed.

before food styling was a thing, photographs of food were horrendous (thank you to my wife for this insight– check any old cookbook or food magazine, the food looks repulsive)

Die Brezeln - pretzels, a typical South German food. There are several accounts regarding their origin - most assume that they have Christian backgrounds and were invented by monks. The pretzel has been in use as an emblem of bakers and their guilds in South German areas since the 12th century. Within the Christian Church, they were regarded as having religious significance for both ingredients and shape. The knot shape has been claimed to represent hands in prayer, while the 3 holes supposedly represent the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Pretzels made with a simple recipe using only flour and water could be eaten during Lent, when Christians were not supposed to eat eggs, lard, or dairy. As time passed, pretzels became associated with both Lent and Easter. They have most firmly taken root in Franken in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg and adjoining areas and have been an integral part of German baking traditions for centuries.
