bigugli Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 the bigugli starts cooking like a fanatic. Spent the entire morning baking up a mountain of cookies for the season. Even got a mold for fish cookies this year. Next will be the bread in a few days time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Looks great, Bruce. I'm sure they won't last long. Art, don't call them "sweetbreads" here. Sweetbreads are something entirely different. J loves them, I make them for her but I need a lot of sauce to get them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yea I promise yaa that the other sweetbread is one I haven't had to eat in years I just don't care for organ meat for the most parts. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their spice of choice is cardamom or nutmeg in the dough. The other bread would be vetebrod, something I have not seen made in near 40 years With any of these braids, nothing beats fresh from the oven with a big dollop of fresh churned spread on top.
