  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When I asked this morning somewhere what they like on bread, I had completely forgotten that the Anglo-Saxon world does not know the tradition of the German Butterbrot.

The German word Butterbrot (literally: butter bread = bread with butter) describes a slice of bread topped with butter. It is still considered Butterbrot even if additional toppings such as cheese, spreads, or lunch meats are added, as long as it consists of a slice of bread with butter.

And:

The Russian language adopted the term buterbrod (бутерброд) from New High German (Butterbrot),[2] perhaps as early as the 17th century during the reign of Peter the Great. In modern Russian the term has a more general meaning, whatever the ingredient on top of the slice of bread is. From Russian, the term buterbrod was adopted into Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Georgian, Kazakh, Ukrainian, and Lithuanian.

Types of Butterbrot

The simplicity of the Butterbrot is what makes it so popular. It just takes a few minutes and you have a tasty, hearty meal or snack. And given the variety of available toppings, there is an unlimited number of Butterbrot variations. Here we define some of the most common types of Butterbrot, based on common toppings.


Did you ever have a Wurstbrot or a Käsebrot or some such bread?
