12743. PsychProf - 12/16/2004 4:34:11 PM Damn....I am busy and keep placing posts in the wrong place. Sorry. 12744. alistairconnor - 12/16/2004 4:41:52 PM "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. 12746. Max Macks - 12/16/2004 9:29:03 PM re.12738--no comprehende
12748. Ms. No - 12/16/2004 9:52:25 PM Gah, wrong thread. Post moved to Mote Matters 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.

An evil straight Swede manwich perhaps?

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.
