I guess there is some hidden meaning in your words, but it eludes me.

Not really.  Wiki describes "Stollen" as a "loaf shaped fruitcake."  Fruitcake is famously the worst holiday gift ever, one that no one wants to try.

A fresh slice of original Dresden Stollen with butter is divine.

I don't put fruitcake in my mouth. Some people have standards and common sense.

Lets not talk about your sexual proclivities and stick to yuletide pastries.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Niederegger Marzipan. :mmm:

I can get it in Austria, but the selection is very limited.

Thanks guys, now my mouth waters thinking about Niederegger. Me and the wife usually go to Germany every christmas to buy goodies like marzipan, stollen and those chocolate santas with brandy inside, but this year we didn't go. I need my fix.

Marzipan? Really?

It isn't chocolate.
