Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut.

Today is the Day of German Unity, their national holiday commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall; I don't much care for patriotism, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to reflect instead on my favourite German unification... the adding of sublime minty cream filling to smooth dark vegan chocolate. Oh yes:

It is indeed, as the German slogan proclaims, Square. Practical. Good.

Another completely awesome thing about Germany: the band Wir sind Helden (We Are Heroes, in reference to Bowie). Here's an atypical but charming song of theirs. Enjoy!

Sadly, no I didn't — yet. (Photo is not mine). This was just a chance to reminisce over Ritter Sport Pfefferminz blocks from my past :-)

But soon...
