Imperial Journey: Denn du bist was du isst (Viennese confectionery)

Today I ate the last Demel chocolate I brought back from Vienna (the Venchi chocolate slab from Milan has been a distant memory for more than a week...).

The last ammunition (to quote a friend...)

Fortunately, there are a few sugar coated violetta flowers (also by Demel) left...


...and of course the sweeter memories of the journey:

Sacher Torte and "viennese" ;) coffee at Café Sacher of the Sacher Hotel

"Viennese" coffee and chocolate covered strawberry and cream cone (by Landtmann's) at the Mozart Café across the Albertina.

PS: Are we what we eat? In this case I hope so.

PS II: I remember my cousin telling me what a comical sight that tourists were when they were taking pictures of the Sacher torte or the huge schnitzels at Figlmüller, while he was checking out a passing Maybach. When he turned his head he saw me trying to take a picture of the cone. Well, scratch one comment... :>
