I am a Jelly Doughnut

My brother-in-law (BIL) and sister-in-law (SIL) came to visit us back in March (Yes, it has been that long since I wrote. You've probably noticed). We took them to Grindelwald to give them a little taste of winter in Switzerland and did some more "extreme sledding." When we returned to town we saw this sidewalk jelly doughnut making operation outside of one of the local bakeries (mmmm..... doughnuts). It is nearly impossible to walk by something like this (I didn't even try), and they know it. If you've ever wondered how they get the jelly inside (I have), watch the video and wonder no more.

In addition to the jelly filling process, there is some other interesting action caught on video here. You can see my SIL chomping off a big bite of jelly doughnut while Raven watches. You can see Raven's nose as she watches the doughnut eating and then turns her head to follow SIL's movements, making sure not to miss an opportunity to sample some jelly doughnut. The other thing you might notice, if viewing large, is the sign that reads "Frisch Berliner." Berliner is the German word for jelly doughnut, named after Berlin, obviously. My SIL pointed out the sign and made reference to famous JFK speech in Berlin when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) to show support for the West Germans after the building of the Berlin Wall. Although the statement is grammatically correct, some people have made a joke of it because one could also translate it to mean "I am a jelly doughnut." There are worse things that you could be than a Frisch (fresh) Berliner. They sure tasted good to me, still warm and melting in the mouth.
