Jayce-ism 四百卡内瘦(So) Skinny

Besides music, Viennese coffee and confection are as famous as Parisian's. Hope to experience how the royal family and the ancient upper class enjoy the hi tea? You can pay a visit to the Cafe Demel, which is located at Kohlmarkt 14. The cafe is a legend, stands there for more than 100 years. Cafe Demel was royal confectioner for Habsburg royal family. Since the opening of the cafe, it attracted a lot of upper class.

除了音乐，维也纳的咖啡甜点和巴黎的可谓是不分上下。想要体验一下以前宫廷贵族如何喝咖啡和吃甜点吗？可以到这间位于菜市场大街14号的德梅尔糕饼店。德梅尔糕饼店是一个传奇， 已经有百多年了历史了。这间糕饼店过去是哈布斯堡皇室指定的御用糕饼店。自从开店以来，吸引了无数的宫廷贵族到这里。

We ordered a slice of Demel Sachertorte cake. The fact that two famous Vienna confectioners, Sacher and Demel, fought a seven-year legal battle on who had the original recipi for Sachertorte shows how serious Austrians take their cakes. Initially, Cafe Damel name their cake as "Original Sachertorte". However, later the court pronounced a judgement that the Sachertorte recipi should consists of two layers of dense, not overly sweet chocolate cake with a thin layer of apricot jam in the middle and dark chocolate icing on the top and sides. After that, Cafe Demel changed their cake name to be "Demal Sachertorte": there is no layer of apricot jam in the middle of the cake, but directly underneath the chocolate cover, covering the entire cake. In other words: Sacher had the original recipi. However, we did not go to Cafe Sacher.


我们点了一份德梅尔萨赫蛋糕。维也纳人对甜点是很认真的。维也纳两大糕饼店：德梅尔和萨赫， 就为了争谁拥有这萨赫蛋糕的原创食谱而打了七年的官司。之前的德梅尔叫他们的萨赫蛋糕为“原创萨赫蛋糕”；不过，法庭宣判这巧克力蛋糕是有两层甜巧克力中间夹着杏子酱还有上面的巧克力片构成的。过后，德梅尔就把这蛋糕改名为 “德梅尔萨赫蛋糕”， 杏子酱不再是在两层巧克力的中间，而是在巧克力层下面，包完整个蛋糕。换句话说：萨赫咖啡馆的萨赫蛋糕才是原创的。可是，我们并没有去萨赫咖啡馆。




Original Sachertorte is sold only in Vienna and Salzberg (Mozart's hometown) and shipped to other location. Although every cookbook includes a recipi of this cake, the original is a top secret. Sacher thought that the cake itself was dry, therefore he added fresh cream. The correc way to eat the cake is: cut a small piece, dip with a little bit of fresh cream......every bite is enjoyable.

全世界只有在维也纳和萨尔斯堡（莫扎特的故乡）制作而已，其他地方卖的都是从这两个 地方运过去的。虽然市面上有萨赫蛋糕的食谱，可是真正的食谱，都还是个秘密呢。萨赫认为这蛋糕本身有点干，所以放了鲜奶油慕斯。吃的时候，就先切一小块的蛋糕，然后沾上些鲜奶油慕斯。。。。。。每一口都是享受。







Remark:
If I am not mistaken, a slice of Demel Sachertorte was about Euro4.5

后记：
如果我没记错的话，一份德梅尔萨赫蛋糕大约是4.5欧元。
