granite mortar

This is a kitchen utensil that has been in our kitchen for a good two decades. I originally bought this mortar because my better half dreamed of spending cooking evenings together. And in order to be prepared for this, the first thing that came into the house was a mortar weighing a good five kilograms.

Granite mortars are still around today and seem to be en vogue again. These currently look very chic, mostly also polished on the outside. Mine is more like a mortar used in the kitchen of Wilma and Fred Flintstone could stand.

In any case, however, it fulfills two essential requirements, namely being heavy and having a rough surface. And I don't have to worry about its durability either. He has already survived my kitchen experiments, several moves and two growing boys.

My personal conclusion is that if you don't want to show off a designer kitchen, you can't go wrong with such a trumpet. And today's versions look a bit fancier too.

  • Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?

    No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
    In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
    The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.

  • I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
    Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.

    • As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.
