Nice to see you back in PR with an article Bel.
I'm taking a break from writing now my last piece is done and dusted. I'm being selective in what I comment on in PR as well. Less risk of being accused of being of 'low intelligence' that way.

Yes, I remember that one. 
I don't comment on mayn entries in PR, either.

nice, an edible entry 
allthough most pumpernickel is too sweet for me now
but it goes down well with blue cheese and port

I've found a reference claiming that it is considered an 'elitist' bread because it seems to be associated with hors d'oeuvre and caviar.

I haven't had pumpernickel since I lived in Birmingham and the German market used to come at xmas

Elitist? 
It's the most common stuff around! But I suppose it's like brown sugar, that was once for poor people...

Not elitist in Germany, but apparently in countries like the UK and the USA, where, according to w*k* you can only buy it in a delicatessen.

Hmmm. Not very common in the UK, perhaps, but it wouldn't really have elitist connotations to me any more than...sauerkraut, to pick something at random.

See, KB, that's why I thought I'd best not mention that. It does seem a bit far-fetched.

Now Mal, come on. Why would I call you a Kraut?!
...when you're a cheesehead?

You should find it easily in Golders Green and similar areas throughout britain. My dad was virtually raised on pumpernickel and chicken soup.

Wiki: Horses Douevres - the parts of a horse you can fit inside a bit of pastry.

That would fit in perfectly with the dictionary T.B. is going to write for

Are Horses Douevres not what they cut off and sell as Bockwursts?
