Would pass on these But we also chose 1 of their Fummel.......it was like a poppadum / pita hybrid but with a light powdered sugar coating. The story behind this treat is something like a royal messenger was a notorious, falling-down drunk & to get him to stop drinking all the wine, they told him this pastry had to be delivered to the king, intact or he would be killed. The fummel was very fragile and couldn't be broken so he couldn't drink since he needed all his concentration to keep the fummel safe Probably is not the exact story but the premise is the point The shell broke very easily & we were amazed that something so thin & crispy would even stay in tact - very original idea & nice treat A-OK place overall & worth a visit!!
