Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 18 You like dark bread? You know, pumpernickel, dark rye, whatever? I love it. Good rich, hearty stuff that you can really sink your teeth into. Now, some people make it with seeds, and some make it without. I've never really understood why there should be any divergence of opinion on this subject, since the flavor of caraway seeds contributes so materially to the overall effect. Caraway is definitely what you need, though, and you must beware the danger of mistaking other sorts of seeds for the lowly caraway. One that looks deceptively similar is the dill seed, which has quite a different effect. It's fine in its place (i.e., dilly bread), but it's just not what rye bread calls for. Another one to watch out for is that one which the Mexicans use so well; they call it comino. If you slip THAT one in by mistake, you won't fool anybody. You can really taste that cumin through the rye. -- Jim Crandell, C. S. Dept., The University of Texas at Austin {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!crandell
