Wow Larry, I did too. Especially the Nürnberger Lebkuchen (gingerbread), and
Lübecker Marzipan (Almond Paste confections - tastes better than it sounds). My
mother used to make Stollen (German Fruitcake), but quit making it a few years
back.
Besides the LEGO Advents Calendar, I also have a Asbach-Uralt Brandy Chocolate
Advent Calendar (Asbach-Uralt is a very popular German Cognac). Yummy. For those
who have never experienced the wonderful (and very potent) Asbach Uralt Brandy
Chocolates (illegal to purchase (but not to own) in most of the USA), they are the
finest brandy chocolates in the world. (My German bias showing thru.)
