“March bread” from Kaliningrad
Have you ever
                                    heard of so-called “March bread”? Meanwhile it is so popular in Kaliningrad that they have even patented their exclusive recipe for such. Guessed what it is? Surely, I’m talking of marzipan. It is a mixture of sugar syrup and finely ground almond. 
Its origin dates back to the early years of the last millennium when the citizens of Italy experienced a season of a poor crop. So, they reacted spontaneously and came up with sweet almond bread, almond pizza and pasta with almond sauce.

is

But beware! 
There
                                    you can hardly resist the temptation to buy a handful of marzipan bars, especially the prominent 
44-almond-% Koenigsberg Marzipan 
with a crisp crust!

They say that
                                    doctors used to prescribe “March bread” as treatment in certain cases.
Actually, it’s extremely rich in calories.

Marzipan serves the
                                    material for a mind-blowing craft of modelling.
The works include a chessboard with chessmen and 
a replica of the Koenigsberg Cathedral, the most preserved monument in the old city.
