12749. PelleNilsson - 12/16/2004 10:11:47 PM What is fougasse in the first place? 12750. thoughtful - 12/16/2004 10:43:13 PM Some call it a french version of foccacia bread. Baked with herbs.
But this description makes it sound a lot more like 'hard tack' to me.
See description here 12751. Marc-Albert - 12/16/2004 11:13:09 PM That's not at all like the common fougasse, thoughtful.
To me fougasse it that somewhat flat, chewy bread that contains some olive oil. I don't like it. Here it's considered very branché, and they always add olives to it.

I am a recently returning Moter
and your name is new to me.
Where is your "here"?
I live in Northern California. 12753. thoughtful - 12/16/2004 11:45:40 PM marc-albert...your description sounds more like foccacia bread, which i love.
 12754. judithathome - 12/17/2004 12:11:58 AM I will eat ANY sort of bread...I'd rather have bread than chocolate. 12755. Marc-Albert - 12/17/2004 1:08:33 AM Max, I live in Montreal.
I've become addicted to the real baguette since I've moved to this area north of the city 7 or 8 years ago. There are two small boulangeries not far where I can buy the real MacCoy in the morning. Sometime I stuff a third of the baguette with a big Toulouse or Italian sausage and call it breakfast.

That's what the hunky blonde next to me in the computer lab has on his screen...
An evil straight Swede manwich perhaps?
Yum..
I will never finish this project now 12758. Dubai Vol - 12/17/2004 2:50:07 AM Just cos I'm feeling picky-

The spelling Nazi has left the building. :)
12759. arkymalarky - 12/17/2004 3:19:10 AM Hey, I didn't know that. That's a useful bit of info. 12760. alistairconnor - 12/17/2004 1:49:15 PM That's interesting... it implies that the two words are recent refugees from French, and haven't gone native. 12761. Max Macks - 12/17/2004 8:31:22 PM Good morning.
Does anyone beside me remember when there seemed
to be only two choices for bread--the bread your
mother MADE and something called ( I think) Wonder Bread.
The store bought bread you could squeeze a slice into
a round ball the size of a marble !! 12762. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 8:35:32 PM Max,
A little before my time. We grew up eating store-bought whole grain bread. My mother's a good cook but not much of a baker. 12763. judithathome - 12/17/2004 10:18:55 PM I remember Wonder bread and Mrs. Baird's bread from the store but don't recall my mother making any at home. Just as well; she was an indifferent and reluctant cook and her pie crusts were the precursors to Frisbees. 12764. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 10:21:35 PM Ah, the truth unfolds! Judith married Keoni to get the scrumptious, flaky pie crusts she was deprived of in her youth! 12765. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 10:22:38 PM I remember we got to go on a field trip to the Mrs. Baird's bakery when I was in grade school. Everyone got to take home a miniature loaf of bread. They were sooo cute!
12766. judithathome - 12/17/2004 10:43:59 PM We got Devil Dogs when we went...I loved watching that conveyor belt carrying the loaves to be wrapped. You could see it through the big window in front of the bakery.
Sad day when the freeway came through and you could no longer drive past and smell that heavenly bread baking. 12767. Magoseph - 12/17/2004 11:17:00 PM I'm going to borrow my daughter-in-law's bread machine and practice making rye and wheat breads for Flexy, one of these days. If I'm successful, I will buy my own machine. 12768. Max Macks - 12/17/2004 11:25:16 PM There must be at least 50 and maybe a hundred
different brands of bread sold in the Bay Area of Calif.
These are small bakeries.
I have settled on Vital Vittals , raisen rolls.
It is still made by hand and is very popular
Orangic stuff , etc.
