Further recent food notes! Mostly things I've eaten rather than made this time:
This was shrove Tuesday for me - from the nearby bakery, the 'waldvierteler krapfen' (jam doughnuts being the Austrian pancake equivalent for the day). This one, unlike the classic apricot jam versions, had a filling of powidl, a thick jam-like plum mix (unlike a traditional jam, no sugar is added to powidl, it's just cooked down for far longer than a jam would be and stirred constantly, giving it a heavy, thick texture compared to jams). And on top there's mohn (poppyseed) as well as the sugar.
Also from the nearby bakery, a Fastenbrot. I'm not sure why it's that shape! These seem to be a lent special, hence the name, and contain onion and sauerkraut which gives the bread a pretty distinctive flavour:
At the end of Coding Medieval Worlds I got a turkish takeaway where they seem to have accidentally given me the bread art asset from a standard fantasy computer game, it was practically half a loaf:
And one thing I did make, this was a sort of savoury strudel attempt - sour cream, mixed with onion and red pepper and herbs, spread on a flat sheet of premade pastry which was then rolled round and baked. I brushed a bit of milke on top to give it a little bit of a glaze. Simple but worked well.
