Marché in Slovenia??!

Along a major Slovenian highway somewhere between Austria and Croatia, we made a pit-stop at a Marché during our roadtrip. It was freaky because it felt like I coulda been at the Richtree on Yonge Street in Toronto, for goodness' sakes! ...only the signs were all written in Slovenian. But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to find this candycane-shaped pretzel or this jam-filled donut (called Berliner in German) in Toronto [insert evil laugh]. BTW: really wish we had the chance to see more of Slovenia!!

Käsebrezel ― Back-Factory.de

Sorry to bust my face all big up in this biz, but the pic's too funny not to share. All you guys need to know is that fresh-baked pretzels are errywhere here in Deutschland! They can be purchased at most bakeries and some grocery stores. Ranging in price from 40c-€1 each, I find pretzels so addictive because of their soft texture and their slightly salty taste. Tip: pretzels are superb with Nutella!!!



Backfactory is a local bakery chain with reasonably-priced baked goods. They sell a Käsebrezel (pretzel with cream cheese) for only 99c! Not bad for a quick snack or lunch to-go, ja? Just look at the generous smears of cream cheese in that thing! Yes, it tasted as good as it looks. I felt the need to shed light on the humble Käsebrezel because I've never seen anything like it back in Toronto.
