OT Which bread?

[crandc]

Planning Debate Watch Party number four, with Oktoberfest theme. Sausage, roast chicken, potato salad, green bean salad, bread and cheese. Hoped to ferment sauerkraut and pickles but they take 3 weeks, last two weeks too hot.

But sourdough culture has been going over 10 years.

So what bread do I make? Pumpernickel or rye?

I can’t decide, so:

Pumpernickel. Duh.

 

[Chris Craig]

Pumpernickel of course

Rye
But God Damn you, have you no common sense of decency, torturing us with your constant barrage of incredibly delicious food? You've got my stomach growling right now. Be quiet, stomach.

 

[CupWizier]

Beer bread. and I don;t even drink but this stuff is delicious.

Beer bread? That's the bread for me, although scotch on the rocks bread would be better.

You should try it Lanny. Easy to make and delicious to eat. I love a good bread although I avoid eaten very much of it these days.

 

[Lanny]

Pumpernickel of course

Pumpernickel, rye, you can't go wrong with either.

 

[Chris Craig]

Pumpernickel, rye, you can't go wrong with either.

Por que no los dos?

 

[Hobbesarable]

I use both for deli style sandwiches.

Oh, much longer than that. I was part of the sourdough culture that started in Haight Ashbury in the late 60s.

I kinda always knew you were part of one of those Haight groups.

Sourdough is where it's at.

When you say cheese are you making fondue? Perfect for the Oktoberfest theme, especially with pumpernickel or rye.

 

[crandc]

No, fondue is really Swiss. Just slicing up some cheese to eat with bread & cultured butter. Along with the sausages, chicken, potato salad, green bean salad, quick pickles, and dessert. Hey, what's a good beer? Got to have some and I don't drink it.

For Oktobefest and that spread....Ayinger

 

[riverman]

I voted for rye

 

[Lanny]

I also have stood on that very intersection.

You don't drink beer? How un American. In fact, that doesn't even fit a true resident of any country that I respect.

Oh I drink beer. More of a rum guy though

I prefer a really quality blended scotch on the rocks but there really is nothing better than a good Cuba libre.
I also really like a really good cognac, especially if it is paired with some cheese and an assortment of fruit. I use to drink it with a really good cigar but my wife, and she's the boss so she should know, says I'm much happier since I quit smoking those delicious cigars. I'll have to take her word for it because there's something deep in my memory that she hasn't been able to erase that says those cigars were damned good.

Nothing like a good Cigar and a drink. I agree with you on Cuba libres. A perfect drink. I like a cognac and a cigar now and then too.

I smoked Cuban cigars in Ecuador. I bought a handful the last night my group was there. We smoked them and shared a bottle round.

Never had a Cuban. Mine were all from central America. Love a good bottle of Hennessy (VSOP) although I do have a nice bottle of Courvoisier.
I'd love to have a Cuban some day. Oh, people, people, not that kind of Cuban. Shame on you.

 

[Lanny]

How about Rattlesnake which I think is a Texas beer.
Ever tried Rheingold (rotgut). Sold back East, in my case, New Jersey. Also sold in mass quantities in Vietnam along with Olympia, Budweiser and Schlitz.
Then there was Strohs, sold in the midWest.
