Now to the third installment in this weeks series european traditions weve been introducing you to some of the additions to a rather special list its unescos list of intangible Cultural Heritage todays entry is the boss foss not a Swiss Carnival Tradition which is quite distinct from its european cousins for instance socalled fast enough i know or cliques gather at four in the morning to ring the bowels. Bustle carnival starts in the wee hours of the morning with the Mortgage Bank all Morning Shenanigans the revelers described their carnival as the three most Beautiful Day this. Month because of the only instruments allowed for the mug for a beach club in blazes a different subject on its lanterns most often their political satire. And our club we have a commission that the comes up with the subject for carnival. Sometime in autumn that they presented to the rest of the club and then we start the preparations because we love them but when the big lanterns like ours here are painted by artists it takes them two or three months thats a few hundred hours of work to go under the mic. All the clubs where you are months of high def aces the first morning the costumes until the same. The macho is shot which means anything. This is why did you see states rather face the one you can hide behind. But behind it youre smiling and enjoying the mortgage prize the Nicest Moment Of Basel Carnival is the coming out so on the phone its a combination of the camaraderie and the tradition. But also as a military component. The marching drills we do are almost militaristic man there is some nostalgia involved. Between parades club members go down to their decorated centers to warm up and rest a bit here they speak buzzer g. H. The citys in sherman time. Public School Teacher ive been all like this i did it because the evil is in your balls to just a few months after the Mortgage Trash Ravenous meet up again now theyre in the Theme Costumes Marks out off from the docks club tells the full story that goes with what hes wearing. The suit here has your theme is goodness we have a crisis if you know the idea is that our club is in financial crisis and weve called in external consultants to show us where we can cut costs we feel the cuts are at the expense of the team weve got really cheap costumes this year recycled large there are no wigs just caps really cheap feathers and the consultant pigs are in the vanguard of what was called the ones who are getting all the money weve saved on the. Items on. The basel carnival they still celebrate it exactly the way its been for the past One Hundred Fifty years there are strict rules for the culture of the Afternoon Parade Spectators are requested not to wear costumes nor are they allowed to sing and sway along. This think that both know that thats probably the thing that sets it apart from other carnivals the separation between the actual participants and the spectators but theyre a very important part of it all were doing it for the spectators benefit. From the floats the vikings. Hand out treats for the children. Along with the piccolo players and dramas the cortege also features brass bands they play whats called good music made the guild knows hes a devil greens but in their own special way. Since twenty seventeen the boss of konovalov has been on you ness goes this to intangible Cultural Heritage of humanity a source of great pride for the clubs belief that it Doesnt Change Anything for us specifically but its really a recognition of this local tradition one that centuries old. After exactly seventy two hours the carnival always comes to an end but not long afterwards club members start planning the costumes now when next year it bounces enthusiasm for conifer is passed down from generation to generation. Now food waste is unfortunately a big problem here in europe many people and businesses end up throwing away spoiled food due to inadequate planning but fortunately there are enterprising minds like eve kourou in the austrian capital of vienna you noticed that bananas in particular were being thrown away in great numbers so he decided to turn his surplus into wine. Waste not want not even to cruise tomato every week he sells his rather unusual wine and viennas not. Most People Struggle to discern what the beverage is made from. Seeing this unfold it has a very interesting flavor and aroma the initial takes to is a little strange for wine drinkers but then it gains in body in law fish like in fight to the sea and tastes different light and refreshing its not too strong i thought. I noticed the banana and the off to taste. Banana wine is mainly popular in africa even to kourou came to austria from his native home the Democratic Republic Of The Congo when he learned how much fruit gets thrown away in europe he started buying up over ripe bananas so by this the bun under most people stop buying bananas as soon as they get brown spots or start getting sweet sear just get thrown a workable its we have so instead of letting them go to waste speak to we buy them to go for the air make something new from the muffin was nice to us. He pays ten year rose for a crate of bananas which is about half the original price during the course of the year event his wife make three to four batches of banana wine the first of the bananas are peeled and the fibers removed so the wine doesnt taste bitter then its time for fermentation. The wines sugar content depends on the type of banana they use after four to six months in the tank of the wine is ready. To open anyway and if you miss world to me a banana wine tastes like banana wine its its own thing and you cant cry there are two white wine or other wines so its and i and it has its own aroma its own after taste is from. One hundred kilos of bananas from around thirty to forty metres of wine in this way if you could who has already saved around thirty tonnes of bananas from being wasted hes especially proud of that.
