  1. You hardly find them in bakeries, cause it's not honourful for bakeries to buy supermarket buiscuits. It's more a housewife recipe.

  2. UNESCO confirmed it is. Like italian Pizza. The health trend with all kind of seeds is relativly new from the last 30 years, industrial baking has reduced quality also. But what is unique is, to eat it twice daily as a regular meal. And not as the french, always baguette, but different for morning and night.

  3.  @cannabico6621  No, It's not dishonorable to have different levels of honour. And I didn't say "housewifes only cook this way" but "when it's made, it's by housewifes". So it's the housewife with the wider range. It's more I have different pretension to different cooks. A housewife buying salad dressing in a bottle is OK, for a chef in a restaurant it's not. Is this attitude dishonouring housewifes ? No, it's exactly fullfilling your request. So all you could want additionally is, I shouldn't mention it ? The observeration, the level of cooking from professionals to housewifes is different is true and neutral, isn't it ? It's no tabu or inpolite to talk about it. If I do international compares, german housewifes are much better than Americans, cause that's about the only recipe you need processed products for, beside the bisquit for Tiramisu. In American recipes you have much more of these "starting with cake crumble" or "no bake-cake". In Germany this is a real exception.

  4. Rueben Syrop often is put inside this bread, but this has nothing to do with Rueben sandwiches, I think that's a New York deli and unknown in Germany.

  5. As long as nobody calls all these things German, have fun. The corned beef would have something corresponding german, but with pork, pickles and eggs. But it's all more or less as exotic as in USA.

  6. This is a bakery, not a brand. you can go and visit and he will sell it to you. "Mestemacher" is the brand sold in Germany, almost the only one. It's known canned and long lasting, so probably there are online-shops.

  7. Sure, but you just eat one slice, it's like 50g chocolate or so.

  8. If you are into sauces, and don't like the sausage, yes.

  9. It's not very popular in germany. Some say "too healthy" others "too sweet", so nothing for a daily basis. That's why it didn't spread around germany. The longevity is kind of suspicious today.

  10. @SomePotato  this is was ' not a german thing' means. But unlike Lederhosen you also never see it in movies, as topic in talks, or mentioned in any public place.

  11. @mickimicki  don't know what you are talking about. Eating gumbo might not be considered an american thing either. Pumpernickel is known in US, cause it's a funny word, and they can pronounce it. But they don't realize it's low market share. Even swedish knaecke is sold more.

  12. Yes, and stored unfrigerated before using ;-) If you put it in something with more liquid, like joghurt or cream cheese, I would say "use within 24hours", but encapsulated in so much fat, it's good for about a week. It's not a good environment for germs.

  13. You want to eat bread or sausage ? If you want a footlong sandwich, go to france and buy a baguette.

  14. It's cooked on a stove, just at 50 degrees. With already made buiscuits.

  15. Isn't it to warm for such a cake ? I mean the significant name is "cold". Melting point is 24 degrees. And it got raw eggs in it.

  16.  @KilanEatsandDrinks  if you handle it like ice cream, yes. But you can't put the cake on the table, for everybody to help themselves. Germans keep forgetting, cake is a dessert in other countries.

  17. Everything not unhealthy, is healthy. What makes things unhealthy is mainly quantities.

  18. In germany this was only known for poor and sick people. But reputation is growing now. Older people still go ... ikkhh, just thinking on it.

  19.  @ShamsherJhonpur  No, because it comes with better bread and salad. Nobody would mind pork, except the producers. And something like Pizza in USA, would be still considered an italian dish.

  20. Why do you think Germans have 1000 types of bread ? Why should you stick to a single style, you don't do this with cake either. Wheat bread you can almost call unpopular in Germany, that's used as buns or bread rolls for breakfast. Sometimes industrial toast. I think there are more baguettes sold in german, when wheat bread .. what is mainly the same thing, but with another background.
