German Christmas Market Fire Cooking (pic heavy)

CincyTiki

I am in Frankfurt, Germany for work this week and visited the Christmas Market yesterday. Thought folks might enjoy the amount of cooking over coals that goes on.

The swinging Sausage grill was cooking 6-8 different types of sausage, they are sold in the bun for 4 Euros.

The salmon on a plank is cooked vertically next to the fire, this is sold in a bun or on salad with a choice of dill cream or honey mustard ( it was fantastic). 7 Euros in the bread.

Next is the Feuerzongenbowle (Fire Tong Bowl). This is a big pot of red wine simmered with fruit spices to make traditional Gluhwein, that then has rum soaked into a large sugar cone set afire over the wine. The rum and sugar burn and Carmelize and drip into the wine. Fortifies you nicely against the cold.
4 Euros for 8 ounce cup (25cl)

And finally a panorama of the Christmas Market

Enjoy

Oh how I miss Christmas in Germany. When I was stationed in Germany, I thought being overseas during the holidays was gonna be a downer. I was so wrong. The feeling of Christmas is awesome in Germany. It's not about gifts, just good times. Enjoy the feeling.

@Sammi‌ I spend around 8 weeks per year here, let me know if I can be any help in your planning

@stemc33‌ I agree with you, the Germans have a deep love for their Christmas traditions and this is a fantastic time to visit and take part, I find them welcoming hosts.

Really cool. My dad was stationed in West Berlin in the early 70s. Some of his best memories are around Christmas time. Thanks for sharing.
