Trail mix

Studentenfutter (also student owner of ndd. For oats, Pfaffenfutter , in Switzerland also Tutti Frutti ) is a name that has been known since the 17th century for a mixture that originally consisted of raisins and almonds ( amygdala cum uvis passis mixta ). Later, otherwise dried fruit and other unsalted nuts added, including cashews , Brazil nuts , walnuts or hazelnuts and peanuts .

This “Schleckerey of German high school students and boys” was more accessible to financially well-off groups of people due to the use of the almonds, which were relatively expensive at the time, from which the name student or priest fodder comes. In student circles it was assumed that the almonds in particular were effective against an alcohol intoxication or a hangover . In France one knows the variant of the Quatre Mendiants with a similar combination of nuts and fruits.

Trail mix was also given as a medicine for various illnesses that required strengthening. The term Pfaffenfutter also describes the addition of spices, candied spice seeds and liquorice . In a joking, figurative sense, Studentenfutter also describes a bouquet of student utensils that are less good for health, such as beer and tobacco. In this context, the term Studentenconfect is also used.
