From Wiki, East Frisia.
In an otherwise coffee drinking country (Germany), East Frisia is noted for its consumption of tea and its tea culture.
Per capita, the East Frisian people drink more tea than any other people group, about 300 litres per person every year.
Nearly 75 percent of all tea imported to Germany is consumed in this region.
Strong black tea is served whenever there are visitors to an East Frisian home or other gathering, as well as with breakfast, in mid-afternoon and mid-evening.
The tea is sweetened with kluntjes, a rock candy sugar that melts slowly, allowing multiple cups to be sweetened.
Heavy cream is also used to flavour the tea. The tea is generally served in traditional small cups, with little cookies during the week and cake during special occasions or on weekends as a special treat. Some of the most common traditional cakes and pastries to accompany tea are apple strudel, black forest cake, and other cakes flavored with chocolate and hazlenut.
2. Name the breed of horse Zorro rode in The Mask of Zorro (1998) and The Legend of Zorro (2005).
