Bacon & Bread
(Speck und Brot)
by Rose Mary Keller Hughes, 8 Dec 2005
Comment: We probably did look like gypsies
as we sat around the large wood fire in our yard.
Our neighbor would come over with a enameled pot filled
with coffee and would say in German, “If I bring the
coffee, may I have some speck and brot?” Oh, the wondrous taste of
the bacon from the slaughter and the bread freshly baked
that day! |

the speck. Hold it over the fire until the bacon starts
dripping grease. Withdraw the bacon from the flames and
allow to drip over the chunk of bread. Some of us would
then sprinkle salt over the wonderfully greasy bread.
Our neighbor always added freshly sliced onions over it
all—we did not. Those were the days . . . no worries
about cholesterol![Edited by Rose Mary Keller Hughes,
