"Stollen" is a delightful little piece. What you've done here is taken a simple subject—a type of bread—and transformed it into something evocative and almost playful. It's a testament to the idea that poetry can be found in the everyday, and you've captured the essence of stollen in a way that's both descriptive and inviting.

- My husband's Christmas favorite ... he just has to have this :) - (with butter and brown cheese - there is no marzipan in the one we use here) - I'm not that fond of it - Wishing you a peaceful and happy new year :) - hugs

It sounds interesting. To buy ready made, or bake. That is the question.
