Mörgästraich forward march... Today is Morgästraich in Basel. The lights go out at 4 o'clock in the morning, but here it's already 7 o'clock and we can watch the Morgästraich on TV for coffee. It's always a goosebump moment.
On Sunday, the flour soup was already being prepared, and of course a sip of red wine was a must.
For the Morgästraich we invited Sheila and Ruedi Koller from the Swiss Club, Ruedi is from Basel and grew up in the Hirzbrunnen neighbourhood. They were joined by Thomas, who grew up just a stone's throw from Markus in Kleinbasel and is looking around the island, maybe he'll emigrate too.
There were lots of Basel specialities, with Faschtewaie for an aperitif, then flour soup, Käswaie and of course onions with bacon. So we had a lovely Morgästraich in good company.
Of course, there were fresh Fasnachtschüechli and Schenkeli for dessert.
A wonderful gift to the passive members of de Schränzgritte has also found a place in Mauritius.
