the Amerikaner and a special Halloween version

So here in lovely Deutschland, the bakeries have a cookie called “Amerikaner”

This cookie is not a cookie that I have ever seen in the USA.  But it does a little bit resemble a black and white.

Well, today I stopped at the local backery in the train station on my way home from work for a loaf of bread and saw a cookie named:

HALLOWEEN AMERIKANER and this is what it was:

This is the actually cookie.  This is Halloween to someone at the bakery.  A Garden Gnome.  I had to buy this because this goes to on prove that Germany has not really embraced Halloween.  The first year I lived here, I had trick-or-treaters show up at the door 2 days before Halloween and then again 2 days after.  But none on the actual day.

Last year, no trick-or-treaters.  No one has parties either.  Such a disappointment.

So, there you have the Garden Gnome in all of his glory on a cookie, celebrating Halloween.

Here is “this is Halloween” from A Nightmare Before Christmas
