We finally have some pictures of the farmers’ market in Lendplatz! We went again today, and had a brunch feast. I’ve become especially attached to a pastry called Topfentascherl. Topfen is like cream cheese, and I think the term “Topfentascherl” basically means “topfen purse.” (Correct me if I’m wrong, E & P!) It certainly looks like a purse when the pastry is all bound up around the topfen, which in this case is lemon-flavoured and sweet…:-D
The braided loaf is called Milchstreizel, and is a kind of raisin bread. Very tasty. Especially with Nutella. ;-) We also picked up carrots, beets, pears, and plums.

Oh yeah ... Topfentascherl is one of my favorites! I had a time where I ate it every day. Topfentascherl means literally translated "little Topfen purse". Topfen is similar to curd cheese although the Topfen in the Topfentascherl usually contains additional ingredients such as Eggs, Butter and Sugar.
