Here in Heidelberg you can go in to a bakery (or at least 2 bakeries that I have seen) and order an ''Amerikaner''.

Now you all know what a black and white is? It is that rather large cookie half of which is covered with white cream and the other half with black cream. It is the epitome of American multiculturalism.

Apparently an Amerikaner is one of those things, only it is all white, not served in America, and doesn't taste nearly as good.
