Hansel and Gretel

If there are two things Germans love, it's suffering and chocolate!

Here is a dissected Lebkuchen (spiced cake) box from my German mother-in-law depicting the story of Hansel and Gretel (click to enlarge). The doors pop open for interactive witch-burning.


Actually, speaking of Hansel and Gretel, I caught a broadcast of the Met Opera's production on PBS today... I am absolutely kicking myself for not seeing it when it opened last year. It was violent, surreal, and totally weird.
