Husband and I brought back some Ritter Sport chocolates from St. Petersburg last summer and stashed them for some day when one of us would be hit with a chocolate craving. Today was one of those days. I reached way up in the cupboard and pulled out a Mousse au Chocolat bar. Unlike the package pictured above, most of the writing on it was in Cyrillic alphabet. But there was some German on the back.Across the fold where the package is sealed were three words: "Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut."
Husband--who comes of good German stock and speaks hardly a word of it--looked at the package thoughtfully. "This one," he said, pointing at the middle word, "means it's practical. And this one,"--he pointed at the first word--"means it makes your legs itch. And this one," he finished off, pointing at the third word, "tells you that it'll give you a big belly."
Maybe our next trip should be to Germany. He clearly has it down pat.
Ha!
