Küchenlatein

I read about the blogparty at my fellowblogger Cindy's site and Stephanie invited me to join in. This month theme is retro.

The first thought crossing my mind was "Toast Hawaii". This dish was presented the first time 1955 in Germany at a tv cooking show. The pineapple makes it "Hawaii", tins/cans were "modern" at this time. And it was one of the first "meals" I could do myself - some years later.


You can eat in in four bites and it's classic.


You need for 4 servings:
4 slices sandwich bread
4 slices cooked ham
4 pineapple slices (tinned/canned)
4 processed cheese slices
chili powder. optional
candied cherries


Lightly butter the toasted bread, put one slice of cooked ham, pineapple and cheese on top and grill it until the cheese has melted. Decorate with one candied cherry.

And the cocktail is very easy Wodka-Martini, stirred not shaken.

Shake the vodka and vermouth together with a number of ice cubes, strain into a cocktail glass, add the olive and serve.
