Erotic Mythology 🌈AimeeMaroux@mastodon.socialJun 16, 2026, 2:06 PM@juergen_hubert When I lived there, I got something called Russian rye, which was the closest I got to what I would consider a "proper" bread 😉
Bjørnar (he/him)btuftin@social.coopJun 16, 2026, 3:42 PM@juergen_hubert I bake my own for just this reason.
Sensible CronesusiemagooJun 16, 2026, 7:25 PM@btuftin @juergen_hubert me too, and for my favorite neighbors, especially those with kids.
Dr. Stephsteph_szostek@mastodon.socialJun 16, 2026, 4:43 PM@juergen_hubert American bread is a crime against bread. I say this as an American who has lived in Germany.

@juergen_hubert I perfectly agree ...
