"Guten Appetit!"


The Black Forest is one of the most beautiful parts of Germany, with its rolling mountains, beautiful wildlife and breathtaking views. And just to get a taste of what the Black Forest has to offer, we planned a Passport Meal in southern Germany.

We kicked off the celebration by designing German Edelweiss Hats. We had a blast making all the hats with our favorite colors and even furnished them with feathers like the traditional Tyrolean Hats some Germans wear. It was fun for us to remember the old German sayings we had learned so long ago and to talk about Germany’s unique culture as well!

On Thursday, June 18th we enjoyed a German specialty called Zwiebelfleisch, which literally translates to onion meat. As you could probably guess, this dish is steak roasted with onions, therefore receiving its name. This main course was served over traditional German noodles as a side dish, and the famous Schwarzwaelder Kirschtorte, or Black Forest Cherry Cake, was served for dessert. All these foods are deep-rooted in the Black Forest region in southern Germany and made for an especially delicious meal for all of us here at Serenity!
