German sugar cones for mulled wine

[TinselianAstra]

You pour brandy on them and set them on fire and they melt into the wine.

Or something like that.

Does anyone know what I mean? I'm going on DP's description here.

Where can I get one?

I know what you mean. Don't know where you would get them though. The German for the resulting product is "Feuerzangenbowle" so you could try googling that.

Glad its not made up!

Apparently the cone is called a Zuckerhut, but googling that doesn't ssem to help.

Hiya, I'm in Germany and have been wondering the last few years what they were for!! Sorry, that's not helpful for you, but thankyou!!

I'm sure I've just seen another thread about this? Is it in the Food topic?

Ah. this IS food. Maybe Christmas?

Since I was being no help googled it for you

argh

Yeah, I started another thread in chat but mistyped the title and thought it woul dbe better off in food. Sorry.

Cool video

There are LOADS of videos called feuerzangenbowle so that's obv what you need to search for...

ta daaaaah

Looks like they deliver in UK...

Wow, thanks!

So it's £1.80 for a cone, £6 for delivery...

Good detective work!

Now all you need is the special metal holder. I bet you could find one at a Christmas market if there's one near you?

If there were a Christmas market with holders, wouldn't they have the cones as well?

DP has seen this done in a student house with no extra implements, he said he just needed a cone. I said I'd try to use the collective wisdom of MN to find a cone, but he's in charge of not-destroying-the-saucepan-or-burning-down-the-house.
