Episode of Christmas market in Colmar
We could find many Alsatian specialties in Christmas market in Colmar [French: Marché de noël de Colmar]. Artisans sold them in the wooden houses. We could find many good things as a souvenir.We found very pretty Alsatian paintings. We could understand how Alsatian people lived in the past through the painting. Alsatian costumes were cute too. We can find such painting only in Alsace. It could be a precious souvenir.
Alsatian potteries are also very famous! Alsatian potteries are most appropriate to prepare Alsatian specialties such as Choucroute or Kougelhopf. Tomo&Chouchou bought Alsatian pottery in Alsace.
The yellow candle sculptures of various shapes were so wonderful. It's even nice to put as a Christmas decoration.
Of course, we could find foods in Christmas market too. Cheese and French dried sausage "saucisson" were sold in the market.
Of course, alcoholic drink was sold too. Tomo&Chouchou were surprised to see eggnog (tamagozake in Japanese) in France! Because we thought Tamagozake existed only in Japan. It was wrong! Old people think in the same way probably. French eggnog is egg-milk mixed with fruits liqueurs such as raspberry,blueberry, European pear, cherry, or French brandy "Cognac". There were many varieties and everything looked tasty!
Instead of eggnog, we drank Hot wine in Christmas market. We always tasted hot wine in each Christmas market. It's not same taste all the time. So it's interesting to discover the difference of the taste. :)
