Don't forget to stop by GermanPod101.com for more great German Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Kalter Hund Wenn man sagt, man hat Lust auf einen Hot Dog, dann wissen eigentlich sofort alle Leute, was man gerne essen möchte. Doch wie sieht es mit der kalten Variante aus? Was, wenn ich einen „Kalten Hund“ essen möchte? Als Kind hatte ich einen Lieblingskuchen, der auf keiner meiner Geburtstagsfeiern fehlen durfte. Und dieser Kuchen heißt „Kalter Hund“. Aber eigentlich ist der „Kalte Hund“ gar kein richtiger Kuchen, denn backen muss man ihn nicht. Ein „Kalter Hund“ besteht aus Butterkeksen und einer Creme aus Kakao und Kokosfett. Um einen „Kalten Hund“ zu machen, nimmt man eine Kastenkuchenform und schichtet in ihr mehrere Lagen aus Keks und Kakaocreme übereinander bis die Form voll ist. Dann stellt man den Kuchen zum Abkühlen in den Kühlschrank. Natürlich gibt es auch verschiedene Varianten. So kann man statt Butterkeksen auch Spekulatius nehmen oder den Kuchen mit bunten Streuseln oder Mandeln bestreuen. Früher wurde der Kuchen über Nacht zum Abkühlen in den Keller gestellt, weshalb er auch von einigen Leuten „Kellerkuchen“ genannt wird. Andere hingegen nennen den „Kalten Hund“ auch „Kalte Schnauze“, weil sich die Oberfläche des Kuchens so anfühlt wie die kalte Schnauze eines Hundes. Ganz anders klingt da „Lukullus“ wie der Kuchen auch genannt wird. Die Bezeichnung kommt von dem römischen Feldherrn Lucius Lucullus. Jetzt fragt ihr euch sicher auch, was ein römischer Feldherr mit einem Schokoladenkuchen zu tun hat, oder? Also - Der liebe Herr Lucullus war bekannt für üppige Festmähler und so ein Stück „Kalter Hund“ hat es ebenfalls ganz schön in sich. Schließlich ist die Creme mit Kokosfett eine ziemliche Kalorienbombe und jeder Bissen landet wahrscheinlich direkt als Rettungsring auf der Hüfte. Aber ab und zu muss man sich auch mal eine Kalorienbombe gönnen, oder nicht? ----Formal English---- Cold Dog If you say you want a Hot Dog, then everyone knows right away what you want to eat. But what about the cold kind? What if I want to eat a "Cold Dog"? When I was a kid, I had a favorite cake that I had to have on every birthday. This cake was called "Cold Dog". Actually, a Cold Dog isn't really a cake at all, since you don't have to bake it. A Cold Dog consists of shortbread cookies and a cream made of cocoa and coconut oil. To make a Cold Dog, you take a box-shaped cake pan and make several layers of cookies and cocoa-cream until the cake pan is full. Then you put the cake in the freezer to cool off. There are several variants, of course. Instead of shortbread cookies, you can use gingerbread, or you can sprinkle almonds or colored streusel on top of the cake. Previously, a Cold Dog was put in the cellar overnight to cool off, which is why some people also called them "Cellarcakes". Still other people call a Cold Dog a "Cold Snout", because the surface of the cake feels like the cold snout of a dog. A totally different name for it is "Lukullus". This designation comes from the Roman general Lucius Lucullus. Now you're wondering what a Roman general has to do with a chocolate cake, right? So - our dear Mr. Lucullus was known for luxurious parties, and a piece of Cold Dog is likewise quite rich. After all, the cream made from coconut oil is quite a calorie-bomb, and each bite goes straight to your hips. But once in a while you have to treat yourself, right? --------------------------- Learn German with GermanPod101!
