Merry Christmas!
Christmas Cake
Following is a literal translation of the pictured card. Dieter had written it in form of a poem; to be able to precisely translate the content, the rhyme form is lost unfortunately.
With candied citron peel, raisins and almond
the Christmas cake must be treated,
jam is made with sugar,
without eggs the cake tastes dull,
and dull it is now again
that nothing of all that is around.
Take 12 eggs, a quarter pound of almonds, 30g candied orange peel.
