Trivia: What is Goldschläger?
A liqueur with edible gold flakes
An ancient kingdom in the Alps
A car with gold parts
An Olympic sport
The correct answer is A liqueur with edible gold flakes
So why is this answer correct? : Gold has been used in food since the time of the ancient Egyptians. It’s non-toxic and tasteless, so it’s typically just used as a garnish or for aesthetics, like in Goldschläger. This cinnamon-flavored Swiss schnapps beverage features glimmering gold flakes. The idea dates back to the 1500s, with a drink called Goldwasser, which was a German herbal liqueur that also had gold flakes in its bottle.
