Talk:Stollen

message: There seems to be many contradictory dates and popes on the internet for this event. I've chosen a date when the brothers were alive and not little boys, and a Pope who was also alive then :-). Various popes actually wrote grants, as the first one just let the nobility use butter and later popes extended it more. I suppose that's why other years and popes are named (Nicholaus V, Innocent X...) but their names are probably too much detail for the article itself and would spoil the tale.

message: In the article a "Pfannkuchen" is described as a doughnut without the hole. In almost all of Germany "Pfannkuchen" refers to pancakes and the holeless doughnut is called "Berliner", except for Berlin, where it is called "Pfannkuchen"... Yeah, Germany can be quite confusing.

replies: text: Stollen is from Saxony, and in Saxony (northern Germany, mid-eastern Germany) a Pfannkuchen is a holeless doughnut. "Berliner" is short for "Berliner Pfannkuchen": a type of Pfannkuchen typical of Berlin. In Berlin, as it is the most common type of Pfannkuchen, obviously it's just known as "Pfannkuchen"; in other places (southern Germany) where it isn't as common, they call it "Berlin Pfannkuchen" to explain which type they mean. It's like custard; in France it's called "crème anglaise" (English cream), but clearly people in England don't call it "English cream" as they don't need to specify that it is English.

replies: text: No,that's wrong. In all parts of Germany, a pancake is called "Pfannkuchen" (if it is made of potatoes, it is called Reibekuchen). The official name for dough fried in oil is "Spritzgebäck". Only in Berlin, the "holeless doughnut", which is always filled with jam, is also called "Pfannkuchen" (a bit confusing, since the same word is used for two totally different types of food), in the rest of Germany, it is called "Berliner". By the way, I'm sure the "Berliner Pfannkuchen" is a close relative of the Danish aebleskive, which is fried in a special pan with small round holes  - and the dough for aebleskiver doesn't contain any apples ;-) 2003:DF:3BC5:9A00:69E1:2A09:668C:5D9B (talk) 00:42, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The picture you add to the History section was before in the Gallery, one of the 4 pictures there. There is no need to ad that to the History section.
That has nothing to do with the Stollen history, and it is a pretty bad image, a little cake on a big not so nice plate. It does not add any valuable information to the article, It was in the Gallery before and it is there it belongs. Read the Wikipedia policy on Images.
Moving that picture from the Gallery into the article is not wery constructive.

replies: text: I'm not 'wery' constructive? Let me repeat myself: You don't own this article. Even if you "did worked a lot with it". A Dutch stol isn't the same as a German stol, as you will see when you look at the image. This entire article is one big advertisement for stollen from Dresden, would you happen to live/work there? Wikipedia is supposed to be objective. So write about all stollen. The image has been swapped, and it stays there. Got that German? B. Franken (talk) 20:41, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

message: This harks back to an earlier issue (see above), but the article now says "As a Christmas bread, stollen was baked for the first time at the Council of Trent in 1545, and was made with flour, yeast, oil and water."  It then goes on to say that permission to use butter during Advent (right before Christmas) was granted the century before.  Why would they have used oil once they were allowed to use butter instead?
