kitchen

• A Lüttje Lage is a popular mixed drink in the Hanover region. A special top-fermented Lüttje-Lagen draft beer (5 cl with 3% alcohol by volume) and a grain brandy (1 cl with 32% alcohol by volume) are mixed together while drinking. Associated with this is a special traditional way of drinking. The small, low beer glass is taken between thumb and forefinger. The middle and ring fingers of the same hand hold the grain glass. When drinking, the glasses come on top of each other so that the grain schnapps can be drunk together with the beer in one go. For the inexperienced, this is a challenge that does not always go well. If you simply pour the schnapps into the beer, you can be sure of laughter.

• Barley bread is a rye bread or mixed rye bread made from sourdough with added yeast. The two-stage fermentation and baking process is special. The block shape of the loaves is created in the proofing basket. Shortly before baking, the loaves are scorched under an open gas flame (tarred, therefore the name). Then the loaves of bread are baked close together. The sides therefore remain soft and the bread has a strong crust on top. Characteristic is the dark mottling of the crust, which shines nicely when coated with a saline solution.
