“When one teaches, two learn” (quote: Robert Heinlein 1907-1988)
A young boy at my school once gave me this recipe. He called them “FÃ¥gelbon” (Bird´s nests). I suppose he was thinking of magpies´ nests. A magpie is a European long-tailed, black and white, noisy bird in the crow family. Its distinctive nest is built in a tree. It is cup-shaped and roofed by a dome of twigs.
