"The cake weighs between three and four tonnes. A carriage takes the cake in a parade through the streets of Dresden to the Christmas market, where it is ceremoniously cut into pieces and distributed among the crowd, for a small sum which goes to charity." Seems like a lot of fuss for a bakery item. Germany gave us the Christmas Tree. Maybe cake festivals are a tradition we could adopt. Residents of Eccles, Bath and Bakewell take note... Nah. Someone with a name like Cameron needs to see the fuss those North of the Border make about offal! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bach said: Should be spelled "stollen", it is a traditional German Christmas bread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stollen I detest Xmas and all the nonsense that goes with it. One of the (very) few things to which I look forward, is the appearance of stollen products in the shops. steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) A good few years ago, the Haggis was a regular appearance at New Year. When my daughter was about 6 yrs old we bought one from the NAAFI, which seemed to be from a good maker. After suitable time in the steamer, it was hauled out and placed, ready to carve on a carving board. It must have had a really thick stomach and kept the pressure inside it. The first stroke of the knife caused a pretty fierce explosion and she ended up wearing a large percentage of the contents, as she had been standing close, to see what the contents looked like. Fortunately it was spread out and cooled very rapidly, preventing what might have been some unpleasant burns. She did see the funny side, after the initial shock had calmed down..... 😱 The substituted Bacon and Eggs, went down well, too. 😆 Edited November 14, 2022 by jcredfer 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
