...Florian has some delicious hot coffees--big mugs of capuccino, cafe au lait, and mocha mit schlag grace their dessert menu, which changes every day. The chocolate seven layer cake was a little dry, and the caramel topping was harder than a candy apple. For something a little lighter, try a slice of their white butter-cream cake with almonds...
...vescica con ginepro, frit-tatas, beignets, gaufrettes, gazpacho, gefullte Schweinerippchen, pastello di pesce, dim sum, kaeng keao wan, shashlik, crudites, ratatouille, pho, ktapodi krassato, calfs head (aargh!) caillou, grenouilles, escargots, mousselines, and such exotick sweetmeats as oeufs a la neige, zabaglione, tarte des Demoiselles Tatin and Sachertorte mit Schlag...

...long postprandial diatribes against traitors, smokers and meat eaters. The words rebound from the elephant-colored walls of the bunker as once they had echoed down the parade grounds of the Third Reich. Hitler's pallid hand, shaking from Dr. Morell's amphetamine capsules, spoons dollops of Schlag onto a slab of chocolate cake. The movie is the world's most overdocumented Grand Guignol, the phantom of history's opera at bay in the foundations of the Fuhrer's falling theater...
