Obatzter

.

Here  is a new take on ” Obatzter “, ” Illustrierter Camembert “, ” Verruehrter ” :
” Spicy Brie On Pear ”

Obatzter  (Obatzda)  is a traditional spread which is usually served as a snack, most famously at the  Munich  Octoberfest. It has it’s origin in the south of  Germany,  where it was a way to use leftover bit’s of cheese, which were given a new live after being mashed with butter, finely  diced  onions, beer and seasoning. The version below uses chicharones and pears instead of the more traditional bread as accompaniment.
( It’s still not exactly diet-fare  🙂
