Kandeel
It's not just the food, it's the bringing of the food.
-Dalai Lama
This started me thinking about where we receive our first food
& quickly: mother, breast & mother's voice came to mind.
Then: traditions in celebrating new life.
Remembered:
Dutch home ritual of Kandeel
a drink served when visitors come to visit a new baby.
(Kaneel is Dutch word for cinnamon)
It is a fortifying drink made with egg yolk, white wine & cinnamon...
Served in a whimsical glass with a spoon...
-Marja Samsom
