*waves a fist* Take that, Mozart balls, with your nasty marzipan ick! /has strong feelings about this, apparently

[nanila]

Heh, marzipan is one of those things that seems to be almost as divisive as marmite/vegemite! :D

[fred_mouse]

I'm not sure I've had either, but looking at the pictures, I know which one I want to try :)

[nanila]

Oh, I hope someday you will have the pleasure!

The definitive Viennese sweet is sachertorte, no?

I like that Manner wafers come in several flavors, including lemon.

[nanila]

Probably yes, but it's difficult to carry slices of sachertorte round in your handbag. :D We got through a lot more Mozartkugeln & Manner wafers when in Vienna than we do Sachertorte.

I love the lemon Manner wafers! My kids prefer the traditional Neopolitan ones, so that works out well.
