Questions & Comments
Hi, the most I could translate was this , it may be just a little inaccurate but not too much! In the preheated cup, coffee ,hearty rum give ,and a thick whipped cream hood covering.
his drink was invented for a christening of a baby girl, Johanna Theodora Katharina, on Nordstrand Island on the 29th of February, 1872. Pastor Gustav Beyer was very strict and always berating his flock their for godless drinking. In order to avoid his wrath, the congregation served a drink made with rum and coffee. The whipped cream on top kept the rum aroma from wafting through the air and upsetting the pastor, who received plain coffee with whipped cream. However, at some point, the good man got a whiff of what was going on behind his back and cried out, "Ihr Pharisäer!" or "You Pharisees!" referring to the sect which heckled Jesus in the Temple.
thank you very much. it is such a lovely piece but I do not speak German, sooo...I never knew much more than just knowing that German Delft is rare. and all of it that I have ever seen is stunning. thx again, net
