Thoughts on Kringle
Well, for my first post to The Kringlesphere, I thought I would share some thoughts on this wonderful epicurian delight.
When I first came to Racine, my in-laws were with us and had heard of the pastry. So they promptly went to the grocery store and bought some. Horror of horrors! The unforgivable sin! Apparently, as we were later told, "THAT is NOT Kringle!" Frankly, I wasn't impressed with it myself - I think it was
"Racine Danish Kringle" brand.
Since then, I have grown fond of
O&H. I know there are some
Lehman's and
Larson's fans out there, too. Then there's Bendtsen's too.
Now my wife, of Slovak descent, prefers her streudel. Not a big fan of kringle, there. But from my "mutt" lineage, I have no such stumbling blocks.
As for flavors, my favorites are Blueberry, Cheese and Apple. Not too keen on Raspberry. And due to allergies, I avoid the nut varieties of Almond and Turtle (though they both seem popular).
Kringle is dangerous in that it goes down so easy, and I can eat about a bushel of it without much thought. We serve it at most church events, especially funerals.
So what of it, Racine people? Do ya like it? If so from where? What flavors? Share with the Kringlesphere...
