Bernese Minster Stollen

Think of a classic, reinvent it, knead it vigorously and then let it rest for four weeks in the cellar of a well-known Bernese attraction: years ago, Bern’s bread sommelier Patrik Bohnenblust was inspired by his fellow students and decided to produce his Christmas stollen (fruit bread) from sourdough and then store it in the minster’s cellar to mature. And of course, the open bakery in the old town bakery Bread-à-porter only uses the best regional ingredients for their dough, making the Christmas stollen a sustainable gift as well as a genuine piece of Bernese bakery culture.

«Bärndütsch» Playing Cards

What is a «Mürggu»? What is your colleague’s deal with their «Bagasch»? This set of playing cards by «Bärndütsch» will give you all the answers. You can use the jass cards even if your Bernese dialect is not up to par yet, the quartet cards will let you know what the often-used «item» means, that instead of taking a siesta, people in the federal city prefer to «plegere» and why «Zwätschgä» is more than just a fruit in the Bernese dialect. Even though they would never admit it, the people from Bern are very proud of their dialect. So, these playing cards will not only make your guests smile but they will also light up the faces of the «Hiesigen» (locals).

ARE THERE ANY PLAYING CARDS LEFT?
