Food & Drink / bread

German term or phrase: Stockbrot

The people are sitting outside and talking. They are toasting "Stockbrot" over an open fire on sticks. There is no great mystery here. I just don't know exactlywhat kind of bread this is.

Thanks.

Explanation:
It's basically dough that you wrap around a stick to hold it over a camp fire. You usually do this when you're at tent camps with a whole group of impatient kids who can't wait for the dough to get baked and eat it half raw. The next day everybody has stomach cramps. But it's just wonderful! :-)

It\'s not any special kind of dough. It more or less depends on what ingredients you find ;-). The ones I have eaten so far all contained yeast though.

Thanks, Sundari. As I said, I had thought this was the name of a particular kind of dough. But I guess this is just toasting the bread over an open flame. It must be sort of a European thing because over on this side of the pond, the only things I've ever seen toasted on sticks are marshmallows and hot dogs. So I've learned something today....So I won't be surprised when I see people doing this the next time I'm camping in the Harz.

Thanks.
