I know this is modern, but can you give us more details on these
marzipan vegetables? Do these look like the real thing or just
cariactures? Are they often homemade or are they usually bought
at the store?
They very much resemble the real thing, only the largest are maybe
6 cm long; they are also colored to look like the real thing.
What is this * anniversary of L'Escalade*?
One of the biggest local historical festivals of the old city of
Geneva, then more like a city-state. The actual event happened
just out of period, Dec 11, 1602. The Duke of Savoy launched a
nighttime attack against the walled city of Geneva, having his
soldiers put long ladders against the walls (L'Escalade translates
as "the scaling"). Tradition says that the first person to detect
the attack was a woman making soup in her kitchen, which was (par
for Geneva at that time) above the ground story of the house. She
pulled her three-legged cast-iron pot (her *marmite*) full of
boiling soup off the fire and threw it down on the soldiers's
heads. This helped to rouse the city, and they drove the soldiers
out. I really don't remember this as being a tourist festival at
all......
