Horaff

According to a legend, during the siege of the city in the winter of 1379/1380, when food was scarce, the women of Crailsheim used their last flour to bake their lent pastries Horaff and threw it over the city wall to the enemy. When the mayor's wife showed her fat behind to the enemies from the wall, they were convinced that the city could not be starved and left. The shape of the pastry is supposed to remind of the buxom mayor's wife.
