Re: Stollen
 

Poll posted. ;-)

Re: Stollen
 

You have omitted the option. I'm going to eat all the Stollen and save Nutek from himself.

Re: Stollen
 

Also "WTF is Stollen?" :confused:

Re: Stollen
 

It's ok.. I'm willing to take the hit for you.

Oh, you wouldn't want any. Hence my selfless poll.

A Specialty Christmas cake from Germany

Re: Stollen
 

I should have guessed it was cake! :rolleyes:

Looks like the same crap the Italians mistake for fruit cake. I'd trade a whole tractor-trailer load of that stuff for a single, proper British Christmas cake-style fruit cake. :nod:

Re: Stollen
 

Exactly! No one could possibly want it.

That's why you all are lucky to have me to take care of it for you.

What a fine fellow that Nutek is. :nod:

Re: Stollen
 

I am always willing to try new food. So pass a slice (or several) over here.

Re: Stollen
 

Talk like that could seriously impair the influx of Stollen and spoil the outcome of my genius plan. :frown:

Re: Stollen
 

I also had this confusion until I read the later replies

Re: Stollen
 

No need for research. Let me carry that burden and dispose of that unfamiliar item for you.

Re: Stollen
 

Aldi usually sells a tolerable version of stollen.

Re: Stollen
 

Handy info for all people choosing poll option 4. :thumbup:

Re: Stollen
 

Oh no it's nothing like Panettone, that dry old stuff. Stollen is delicious, especially if it has marzipan in it. Aldi do a good version and World Market have a really good one. I love British fruit cake too, my sister brought over one she made in September that I've been "seasoning" for a few weeks.

Re: Stollen
 

OK, you've persuaded me. I will grab as much as I can before Nutek gets his paws on it all. :sneaky:

Re: Stollen
 

So far, this has not gone quite the way I had hoped.

Still, I am sure my good intentions will win the day.

Re: Stollen
 

This has raisins in, right? I don't like raisins, so Nutek is welcome to it :nod:

Re: Stollen
 

Yes.. Horrid hate berries.

Option 2 ..

Ok.. this is looking more like it.

Re: Stollen
 

We get ours from Aldi, it seems fine to us. For Pulaski's edification, it is a much more solid and satisfying affair than the Italian confection, and the one with the marzipan inside is definitely the way to go.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago but steveq couldn't resist starting it and it was consumed in short order, leaving none for Nutek. More trips to Aldi are definitely called for between now and Christmas.

Re: Stollen
 

Yes, I chose option 2, you are welcome to all the raisins you can handle.

Except chocolate covered ones, for some reason I like them.

Re: Stollen
 

Steveq has good taste but clearly needs someone helpful to selflessly help him with dispersal of calories. :nod:

Re: Stollen
 

You can get the one with poppy seeds instead.

Re: Stollen
 

Instead of raisins? You jest. Like swapping Christmas stuffing for a stick of celery.

Re: Stollen
 

Cherries would be a welcome substitute, I suppose.

Re: Stollen
 

You can't interfere with stollen- glace cherries are verboten.
dried fruit, marzipan, tons of stodge sprinkled with icing sugar, there will always be left overs 😂

Re: Stollen
 

Let's have less subversive talk of alternate ingredients and more taking advantage of this public spirited offer. :nod:

Re: Stollen
 

You're certainly helping Nutek's case here.

Re: Stollen
 

If this takes off I may be willing to help with other items in the future.

Re: Stollen
 

I'm not personally sending you any, you understand, I'm just leaving you more by not eating it :p

Re: Stollen
 

It's a start.

Re: Stollen
 

I have a 5 year old xmas pud in the cupboard Nutek can have. nobody here fancies it

Re: Stollen
 

That's the one we have now. If Nutek wants to get himself over here, there might be enough left over for a slice or two.

Re: Stollen
 

Mmmmm stollen

Re: Stollen
 

I'd much rather have chocolate cake...with a big dollop of whipped cream. :thumbsup:

Re: Stollen
 

Looks like it should be nice. It isn't. Same goes for lebkuchen. Bloody Germans. And their over-hyped Christmas markets. :thumbdown:

Re: Stollen
 

It's NOT cake! Cake is good. Stollen is not good. It makes Panettone look like the food of the gods. Which it isn't. But it is in comparison to stollen.

Re: Stollen
 

I find that hard to believe. Panettone is cake made from woodchips, no, sorry, panettone is stale cake made from woodchips.
