jjsimp: That just sounds utterly disgusting. I like spaghetti and I like ice cream, but don't you dare combine the two.

It's the kids' all time favorite! (click)[/url]
Okay that don't look near as bad as what I was thinking. That's just ice cream in the shape of noodles, with some kind of fruit as a topping.

Indeed, the topping is strawberry syrup to make it resemble Spaghetti Bolognese as close as possible. I still prefer *real* Spaghetti Bolognese but the ice-cream is a nice idea.

Oh and my link was badly formatted, I fixed it but it seems you found your way as well.

Completely unrelated and off topic, ice-cream surrounded by pasta dough and deep-fried is very tasty as well, and nothing new, too... Probably not from Baden-Württemberg though. :-D

I am German and though we, as a people, surely have our typical issues, just as every nation has - these two are just messed up people. I know people like these and I would not be suprised to learn that they also deny vaccination, actually believe that HIV is only a lie created by some dubious conspiracy and think that it is a good idea to infect your children deliberately with measles.

Bottimline: messed up individuals.

jjsimp: Can't you just cut the crust off and it's fine. I thought the crust would protect the interior of the bread.
You can cut the crust but even after a day or two the bread itself is not fresh. Its not moldy or anything, just doesn't taste as good, not as moist, etc. My parents usually sliced the bread after making it. But I think the few tines they didn't pre-slice, it didn't help much.

CrowTRobo: The problem with making your own bread is that it goes stale after a day. My parents had one and the bread was great the day it was made but just a day later the crust becomes soft and chewy instead of crispy. Its not so bad that I wouldn't eat it but add another day and you have to throw it out. Some people say preservatives are bad but I like the fact that I can keep a loaf of bread for a week or two and eat it on my own time and not have to worry about wasting my money throwing half of it out.

I don't want to nit-pick on your bread baking skills or anyhting here but our breads go stale if they are kept in a more humid environment. If the enviroment has less air humidity the bread gets utterly dry quite fast.
I actually quite like my bread soft instead of crispy and it's a mess keeping our bread from drying up if you don't cheat about your air humidity a bit.

Oh shit, a bread baking fight.

Batten down the hatches, put the kids to bed, it's gonna get bloody! :O

Ah, if that's the case I would have a real problem. Less than five miles from the ocean, our humidity on a good day is around 60%, but during the summer usually hovers closer to 70-80%. Even though this has been a mild summer, I am still praying for fall to be around the corner.

Be careful or you end up one the morning, having you favorite bread sliced open lying next to you. Capisce?


You know how awful crumbs on your bed feel!

tinyE: Totally stupid thread but I can't get this out of my head and I don't know anyone else I can ask about this.

I have a German couple staying at my inn tonight and they don't allow their children to consume anything cold because they believe it's bad for the body.

Is this a German thing or are these people just fucking nuts?
Don't know if it's a german thing but it seems to be a romanian thing. Here many people are afraid that if a child drinks or eats something cold his throat will hurt.
Also we are afraid that if we stay too undressed we will catch a cold. :))
An open window make us worry. The flowing air will also made us catch a cold. God forbidden if 2 windows are open at the same time :))

Yeah, we're fucking nuts.

Sorry for offending the fellow romanians that don't believe this crap.

That screams deep south redneck here in the US, well at least the mullet part. Usually Rednecks haven't seen a razor in quite some time.

Hmm, interesting - that could be the problem as I live in an area with a humid climate. I like a soft crust for sandwiches but a crispy crust for bread that I eat by itself.

Maybe you want to experiment,
try putting it in the fridge, wrapped into some kitchen-tissue something, that should dry it up very quickly.

Don Khadgar42, I am honored and grateful that you have shared with me knowledge about bread. May your next piece of bread, be soft instead of crunchy.

Thank you! I will always be there for my bread eating family.

A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.

If you have any other bread related problems, don't worry! Okay? I want you to leave it all to me. Go on, go back to the party.
