Yummy!
I refuse to partake of the cheap Glühwein and sundry overpriced/sub-standard dross of the Christmas Market, but the potato pancakes are a dream.
The Goldies and post-Goldies all appear to have moved on to a well-earned (and well financed) retirement.
The new people appear to be from Poland/Slovakia/Czech Republic/wherever but from over that way and it makes you realise how simple and effective their business model is.
One person who takes your money and only needs command of the language up to “10”
One person who only needs to understand the responses of “Ja” and “Nein” to the standard question “Mit oder ohne?” – “With or without?”, the noun (being “applesauce” superfluous in this context
Three slaves making the stuff and working frantically to keep up with the demand.
Now, why didn’t I think of that….?

>@ Peter MolzBut most are and I live by the credo that life's too short to drink bad wine. Or Glühwein. Or beer, for that matter
>Even though I like "Apfelmus" very much, I prefer the Glühwein to those potoato fritters/pancakes :-)Btw., not all of the Glühwein offers on the Christmas Market in Mainz are based on the cheapest wine available.
>I checked the link and read the recipe you provided earlier. Doesn't work for me; mine usually look gray and unappetizing. Guess I'll try again. We always have a theme Christmas meal, and this year it's German. Any suggestions?? (PS. Next year, I shall have guests bring a dish that represents their heritage, and, in our house that gives each chef wide latitude).
