Bergische
Kaffeetafel (Bergischen coffee panel)
A special way of drinking coffee
Nowadays, drink coffee is not nothing intrinsically unusual even then if varied select pastry is reached to for the
coffee. It is quite different with the "Bergischen coffee panel" of the best known culinary speciality of the Bergischen
country. Not just its composition makes it a little special. Like hardly a other meal puts
it by reflecting Bergische history and Bergische character equally the essence of a
country. Because of that is it either not an arbitrary PR measure if the Bergisches state of Touristik sets the
aim, trusts the place unknowledgeable travellers with this country speciality to
make. The "Bergische" shall rather in his unmistakable self type become - to be experienced and that goes now once best on the path about the "Bergische coffee
panel."
This "Kaffedrenken met allem dröm on draan" distinguishes at first once by arranging from all comparable
meals. On a typical coffee board one finds "Hefeblatz" along with and without raisins, Black - and gray bread, sweeten spread in form of honey, pears -, apple - or beet herb, butter, curds, cheeses, sausage and
hams, rusk along with and without icing and Rodonkuchen as well as milk rice along with sugars and
cinnamon, fresh baked waffles besides hot sour cherries and sometimes even scrambled
eggs
The supply vary in detail, only does not let at the following shake: Amplely must is it and
rice, waffles, quark, different types may bread and spread as well as coffee under no circumstances are
missing. If it shuts quite true to style, the drink that livens up is flowing from the little tap of a pewter coffee-pot "of" a
"Dröppelmina" whose name reminds of the times that filter uses were not even not the little faucets in use and therefore rarely with coffee clause clogged in which led in turn that the coffee must only take
"from mode of droplet."

»Significant lushness« fills the table at the Bergischen coffee panel
|
On the one hand, on the other hand, the simplity of the individuals Ingredienzen is eye catching at alledem the "significant" lushness as well as a little strange arranging. While the simplity of the over centuries prevalent poverty in this region that was characterized peasantly corresponds leaves the lushness backends on people's hospitality of the Bergischen. One could afford even the most of the agrarian products that were produced even only to special occasions namely then if family celebrations into the house stood if guests were expected. Every new "exotic" pleasure was immediately offered too these the/that because of the commercial relations of the Bergischen country to The Netherlands how became because of modest economic growth during the industrialization in the last century within reach. Rice and coffee, real coffee became mind you so that in the middle of the
19 th century to integral parts of every feeding that one left donate as such for known friends, dear
guests.

This kind of meal did not get the name "Bergische coffee panel" however until the thirties of our century. First when one started to celebrate family celebrations also off-site in restaurants when transport connections that are improved moreover took unknown travellers to the country self were been forced that was what within centuries waxed, what of course trusted and therefore nameless, name.
In the meantime the "Bergische coffee panel" became although a firm institution and popularity enjoys more growingly but she/it still puts all of those that are not connected narrowly with Bergischen traditions before the question like and in soft order one has to take the single ingredients to self. Short instructions for the end: To start is with a white slice of bread, spread with butter and sweet spread and cover with a thick rice layer. Then one will hold on to these firmer bread places and cheese or sausage than coating. One cuts with butter and quark ends the bread meal the/that one has follow everywhere still cake or zwieback. Become in between times consumed in any case but warm that is called the waffles as soon as they are served. The border of the meal should a grain or put on are - educational already because of the better compatibility.
Just this reason recommends it moreover connect the pleasure "of" the "Bergischen coffee panel" with a hike through the country. That serves not just this one health and that understanding ... it makes also simply
fun.
