18th century anti-Semitism at work.

Everything here is so different from our customs and customs and seems so sad to us that we get the impression that these people must feel quite unhappy. But maybe they have the same view of us.

I was also impressed by this!

I'm so curious to taste everything; It's disgusting, everything prepared with honey and oil.

Hee. I can't say I agree with Lehndorff here :) Baklava used to be my very favorite dessert!

At least he tries it first before condemming it? :) Lehndorff being genuinely curious about other people and customs is another appealing trait of his.
