Jess, thanks for the recommendations. I actually just bought a great bread covered in flaxseeds yesterday at the Coop. I am seeing it more and more now. A little omega-3 kick here and there can’t hurt, as you said ! I love 101 Cookbooks, great idea for the zucchini bread, I’ll have to try that too.

Flaxseed is great! I used to sprinkle ground flaxseed on my muesli and yogurt. You can use the oil in just about any of your baking for a little omega-3 kick.

Not sure what to do with Leinkuchen, but I followed 101 cookbooks’ zucchini bread recipes and added flax. Turned out great (don’t think the flax did much for the taste, but it makes me think it’s healthier). It was a suggestion that came from one of the comments. I’m sure with the oil a little goes a long way.

Yes, Andrea, I will have one for you. One croissant, one Bretzel and even one Laugencroissant when I get back to Germany. Or a pretzel croissant if I get to New York first !

Not familiar with Leinkucken but BE STILL MY HEART!!!! — Laugencroissant and Bretzlen, 2 of these greatest bread products known to man and I cannot get them here! Ugh.

Will you have one for me?

Always a joy,

Andrea
PS. LOVED seeing all the market photos, thanks.

Emma, so glad to hear you were ready for another market visit. I certainly was! And I love seeing that you did a little traveling yourself on the blog, all of last year’s seasonal treats. Mmm, time to have those all again for sure. Hope the boyfriend gets inspired – and that I’ll be reading on the blog soon from you about an upcoming trip! But don’t let that hunger go too crazy – horsefeed, not so good.

Julia, I always find it so hard to believe that you don’t visit markets like we find here in Europe all the time. They are just SO up your alley, you would be in heaven each time, not knowing where to look or what to taste first. As for the Laugencroissant, it definitely resembles a croissant, yet has a bit more heft to it, though not quite as chewy as a pretzel. Now that’s one recipe I would LOVE to master !!

Thanks for the blog links too. I just recently found two fantastic gluten free blogs myself:

I just had to point out this market to Mr Mélanger. I think I have shared before, that we have nothing quite like this here in Brisbane. What a different life it would be to wander into to a maze of mystery delights like this. Love the Laugencroissant! Was the texture different from a croissant, too? More chewy like a pretzel?

Re: linseed, there are a few blogs that I read which are focused on gluten free baking. They would definitely use linseed. Lauren & Natalie have two of my favourite gluten-free blogs. They are very creative with adapting recipes to suit a gluten-free diet. Maybe search for linseed here – probably will find a bunch of ideas???!!!

How’d you know I was jonesing for another market post? I’m sure others were too! Just last Friday I went through your archives from last November and December, and enjoyed scene after scene of mistletoe, chestnuts, raclette, toys, sausage, and wood carvings. I even emailed those posts from last year to my boyfriend to try and spark his interest in foreign travel, focusing on the edible aspects (comme toujours).

And now here’s another market to dream about, especially when hungry – which is right now! I’d even give the horsefeed a try.

I just loved wandering around this market. Many of the food items really intrigued me and I ended up tasting a panini made with spinach and feta cheese. It was yummy!
Tried on hats, tasted coffee, looked at all the chocolate desserts and wanted all the pastries on all the tables. Thank you for wanting to go to a market in Berlin. It gave us another sense of Berlin after seeing such a city with such history. Your photographs bring back great memories!!!!
