Cheese, salami, shnapps, yoghurt and masunjek.

Today we walked up the very steep hill to a local dairyfarm that sell cheese, yoghurts, salami and eggs. They also do cheese tastings. The building originally was built in the 1100s but has been renovated along the way. So of course we had give it a go.
First we started with some schnapps then tucked into some yoghurt and trying some masunjek which was made from some sour cream, cream and cornflour (it is usually made from buckwheat)
 We then tasted different cheese and salami with some homemade bread and butter.
To quench our thirst we were offered some elderflower syrup and water. Next to the house was a church built in the 800s. It is hard to imagine a building that old is still standing. On our walk back down the donkeys came up to say hello. I loved the fringe on the babies. From the top of the hill we could see down into the town below.
We then drove to the lake to watch a man make masunjek. He used cream and buckwheat flour. He told the story of how a lady came up with the dish by accidentally tipping cream to be heated instead of milk so she added flour and it turned out fine. It has now become a traditional dish.  More tastings.... luckily it was only a little. I quite liked the flavour

This arch is 300 years old!
