I have added permanent large letter links to The Mote on the RI index page as well as all thread pages.

Damn....I am busy and keep placing posts in the wrong place. Sorry.

"rassie" is stale...

"escagacée" is Suthun dialect, I won't touch it.

12745. Magoseph - 12/16/2004 4:43:15 PM

In the context I used the first term, it means the fougasse was a little damaged. As for the second term, it means the fougasse was stale. I'm not certain that I spelled that one correctly since we say pain rassis for stale bread.

On my way to the hairdresser now, I'll see you later, thoughtful.

Gah, wrong thread. Post moved to Mote Matters

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

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.

Marc-Albert
I am a recently returning Moter
and your name is new to me.
Where is your "here"?

I live in Northern California.

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.

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.

Une haute deugue?

Pamela berratrar om Playboy-orgie..

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

Just cos I'm feeling picky-
Women are blonde
men are blond

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.
