Let me tell you sth about the Famous Black Forest Cherry Cake

Please do.

the name in German does not mean that it is from the Black Forest

It doesn't?

but that it contains cherry brandy from cherries of the Black Forest

I didn't know that. Anyway, I confuse it with Sachertorte.

​

It doesn'it

was probably invented in Vienna ….. by conditors using Cherry Brandy from the Schwarzwald

OSTFriesland

Ah, now I know why. Only joking. If you want to know why you'll have to ask them.

Oh jeeze, well I looked it up and now I understand my family better.

Why do East Friesians have scratched up faces on Monday morning?

I've never been to the East Frisian islands but I'd like to visit it someday. The language plays nicely on my ears. It's related to my own language and I speak German and some Afrikaans too so I have no trouble understanding it. I used to have Hannes Wader's Plattdeutsche Leider LP and I must have played it a hundred times.

 

[Markle]

or is it just an old joke?

i have heard about it and would like to know your comments

It goes back to WW II.

Norway and Denmark fought the Nazis and were brutally attacked and beaten. Sweden capitulated and cooperated with Hitler and was unharmed. Yes, there was a lot of animosity. One of my grandparents was from Denmark, and the other three were from Norway. Our large circle of friends had no Swedes, as I grew up in Chicago in the 40s and 50s.

I cannot believe that Americans believe such bull shit. I realize that the US doesn't educate their population but can't you (individually) do some reading before you make such ridiculous statements?! I mean, Jesus Christ!

No, they ate with forks and knives over the weekend.
