Default Sacher torte

"Ed Pawlowski" wrote in message ...

Sunday night we were watching an episode of Andrew Zimmer's Delicious
Destinations on the Travel Channel. This episode was Vienna Austria.
One of the foods Vienna is know for is pastries. They visited the Hotel
Sacher and showed how they have been making a chocolate tore the same
way since 1832. It looked fantastic.

It is a chocolate based cake with apricot jelly coating and coverde in a
proprietary blend of three chocolates. The cake is mixed by hand, same
as in 1832.

As any good foodies would do, I Googled it and found that I could order
one o line. So I did. It was shipped on Monday and arrived today. It
is a 5 star presentation, as it comes in a wood box with brass corners.

I ordered the largest size since shipping cost is the same. It is good
for 12 servings. It is supposed to be served with unsweetened whipped
cream and you eat some of each in every bite.

It is really really good. Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea with it
and it is a heavenly dessert. Given the price, I won't be ordering
every week, but for special occasions, it is a very nice treat.
