Stollen stollen, a traditional Christmas snack in Germany

Introduction:

"Stollen, also known as stollen by many of us, is a traditional german christmas snack, which is said to have a history of hundreds of years. Every year, it is prepared one month before Christmas. Every week, the whole family get together and slice it until Christmas. Originally, I didn't like the food sprinkled with thick powdered sugar very much, but I changed my view of stollen after a trial. A few years ago, on Christmas Eve, I tasted this long-standing German snack in an American supermarket, full of the aroma of rum stained nuts and the mellow taste of butter. Unexpectedly, I found that the thick powdered sugar was not so sweet and greasy. I really admire the traditional taste of hundreds of years, which can capture people's tongue and heart. So, on Christmas Eve this year, as a Chinese, I made this delicious German holiday snack by referring to the methods in Japanese cuisine books. It's so interesting that food culture permeates people of different races in different countries. "
