Mercatino di Natale di Norimberga, Christkindlesmarkt

Among the stalls of the ancient Nuremberg Christmas Market, you might encounter the scent of cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel from the feuerzangenbowle, a traditional German drink, which can be literally translated as “punch with fire tongs,” referring to its characteristic preparation on an iron grater (Feuerzange), on which a sugar block soaked in rum is burned, caramelizing and falling into the bowl of red wine below.
