Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
Scrumptious. I was expecting you to give us a complete molecular breakdown of this or, at least, a recipie !

@Ronnie 2¢: Easy! Mix flour (500g) and sugar (60g), put it in a bowl and make a hollow. Now crumble some yeast (42g) into that, then put 250 ml of milk (luke warm) into the bowl. Stir carefully milk and yeast, wait for 15 minutes. Mix (molten) butter and two eggs, put this into the bowl. Then knead for at least 10 minutes until you have a good yeast dough. Let it rise for half an hour, then knead it again and put it on a baking sheet. Now cover it with plums and bake it at 200°C for 50 minutes. After that, add suger, ready!
@Margie: Now you can read the recipe he was asking for. :)
@António Pires: Yes! :-)
@willow: Enough for three days :-)
@Jen: And they were tasty too! :-)

Whenever I go to a German bakery I have a tendency to order five or six kinds of dessert because everything looks so good. Yet I believe they say in the ideal Europe, the Italians are the cooks and the Germans are the mechanics (the Brits are the police, the French are the lovers, and it's all organized by the Swiss). I guess in European Hell, the French are the mechanics, the Swiss are the lovers, the Brits are the cooks, the Germans are the police, and it's all organized by the Italians.

@Twelvebit: Some say, hell is when Germans are the cooks, the mechanics, the police, the lovers, and it's all organized by the Germans :-)
Things have changed, really. :-/
@Laurent: C'était très délicieux, merci!
@akarui: Thanks! :-)

Well, I think I might be more worried about the Brits, as they seem determined to realize all the predictions of Orwell, even it they come to them a little late. Germany, having already experienced what it is like to take a certain path, will perhaps be inclined to practice some caution and restraint.

@Twelvebit: I wouldn't count on this too much, experiences fade away fast, and our cultural varnish is just a thin layer. But that's a different story.
