die Feuerzangenbowle
Germans throw a wicked Christmas party; pictured is the Feuerzangenbowle, a totally innocent looking tureen of mulled wine over which a block of packed sugar is ignited and constantly fed with rum until it has all caramelised into the fragrant goodness below. This is the attempt carried out by my pet Italian and I; it's highly toxic (half a bottle of rum to two litres of wine; relatively little alcohol actually burns off) and very, very good for the soul on a cold winter's evening.

*Jealousy*
That looks like lots of fun.
My friends over here in Canada tried your "Flaming punch" on a cold winter's eve and it was delicious! Wishing I could curl up with a bowl right now as we are getting another 20cm of snow tonight. Lovely being indoors watching it fall and the wind whip it about but am not looking forward to the drive to work tomorrow. Anyway, thanks for posting the recipe, it was the inspiration for a great night.
Take good care.
