Food of the Week

Sachertorte (pronounced "sah-ker-tort") is also often called "Death by Chocolate", and for a good reason. It is a traditional Viennan food, which we ate on our day trip to Vienna today. It's basically two layers of chocolate cake with a semi-hard chocolate top and a fruity filling between layers. In other words, completely delicious. We enjoyed ours at a place called Cafe Central, a place with actually an interesting history. When Hitler was studying art in Vienna, that was his favorite place to enjoy some Sachertorte. The cafe itself was very beautiful, but it was strange to think that Hitler may very well have eaten the same food as us exactly where we sat. Here is a picture of Emily eating the cake, and in a few days we will try to upload more pictures of Vienna, including the "after" picture of the cake (slightly sick faces from too much chocolate).
