Hotel zur Burg breakfast
B R E A D : The world's best! Brotchen are baked fresh every morning. The pretzels are like real bagels, they come in a dozen varieties, none of them available in America, crunchy on the outside, soft and "pull-apart-as-strands" on the inside. Croissants are filled with Nutella!

Quark is good. It isn't yogurt, it isn't sour cream, its in between. Grandma didn't use yogurt or sour cream but she kept several kinds of Quark in the fridge all the time. Besides breakfast with soaked muesli, she used it for afternoon dessert with cherry compote. A bakery favorite is "Töpfenkuchen", using the Austrian word for Quark in a cheesecake that usually includes fruit.
New York City has Quark at Fairway from a family farm north of Seattle:
Pflaumenmus is delicious on toast. Its the plum equivalent of apple-butter, a sticky sweet tar. Heidi says that its exhausting to make it in the kitchen. A very happy memory is loading several containers of it into the carry-on luggage at the airport supermarket. A very sad memory is having to discard them at airport security, which considers Pflaumenmus "a potent, high-energy liquid".
