KD you'd love hot chocolate served in Germany. You can only get it in a bakery. They bring you an empty cup and a tray with some cyan Pepper, cinnamon and several other spices. In the center of the tray is a whip cream can and on either side of it is a little carafe one with melted dark chocolate and the other with hot cream. It's up to you to decide how to build your hot chocolate. Of course you also have to get something sweet to go with it.
