Gattathefur, Wednesday 22nd December

This character is Door-Sniffer who, as you can see, is gifted with an abnormally large nose with which to sniff around doors (usually kitchen doors !) looking for tasty treats ! His favourite is "laufabraud" (leaf-bread), which is a thin and crispy wafer bread, usually deep fried in oil or fat. It is traditional to decorate the laufabraud with stencilled patterns before the frying takes place. There's usually a competition to make the best one ! Door-Sniffer has no interest in making them, he only likes to eat them !
