On April 12th the old Winter-Swine was succesfully chased through the village! Accompanied by Sir James (Minor Swing) on trombone, Andrea on sax and Wolfgang on trumpet winter was given a chewing out.
 
For all those who missed this memorable event the following short video brings the spectacle back to life:

Wir beginnen pünktlich um 15:00 Uhr!

Die (Winter-) Sau wird einmal durch das Dorf getrieben,  um sie schließlich den Flammen zu übergeben.

Begleitet wird der Abgesang auf die kalte Jahreszeit von Swing, Performance und Improvisation.

Für das leibliche Wohl gibt es Erbsensuppe mit Brot und Getränke!

Ort der Veranstaltung: Altes Telegraphenamt zu Oberscheid, Bonner Str. 21, 53567 Buchholz/Oberscheid

For all of you, who’ve been drumming edgy with their fingers on the table and rocking nervously in their chairs: The furious final of the 6th Kulturtag 2013 is online at last!

Ingeniously introduced with the completely bananas song ‘Ich will flöten’ (‘I want to whistle’) the gentle audience will be mentally prepared to be hit with the impact of a 5 ½ minute soft-boiled wrecking-ball: The egg-dance (‘Der Eiertanz’)!

Ladies and Gentleman: The Oberscheid Allstars!

Our polish friends and fans have brought something special to the Kulturtag this year, called ‘Apple Pie’ (polish ‘jabłecznik‘ or ‘szarlotka‘):

However, it is not something eatable (as one could guess), but a cocktail.

And it would not be a real polish cocktail, if one of the important ingredients wouldn’t be vodka.

So here’s the original recipe for all those, who already experienced or still want to experience the intriguing gustatory similarity with real apple pie:

-1 volume unit Grasovka Vodka (Żubrówka)

-1 volume unit unfiltered apple juice

Hierochloe Odorata

For weaker people, one can use less vodka, but it’s easy to drink as it is.

If you like to make your own Żubrówka, you need of course the authentic Bison Grass, which is also known as Sweet Grass or Holy Grass (Hierochloe Odorata) in the UK, or Vanilla Grass in the United States.

One takes 5-10 dried blades of sweet grass and insert them into a bottle of pure vodka, put it in a dark place and let it stay for 2 weeks. You may need to adjust the amount of grass, just make one and try!

According to W. Somerset Maugham in The Razor’s Edge, Żubrówka “smells of freshly mown hay and spring flowers, of thyme and lavender, and it’s soft on the palate and so comfortable, it’s like listening to music by the moonlight.”

Our special thanks to Michał Nowacki for providing the original recipe!
