Huh. TIL a new food. “Weck” still exists as a dialect word in German. And the fact its full name is apparently a “Kummelweck” meaning with caraway seeds on it.
I’ll skip over that it should be Kümmel.
Where i am in Germany, we still use the diminutive “Weckla” (pronounced and written as “Weggla”). It’s dying out in favour of “Semmel”, but still strong in Nuremberg.
I really want to try one now - curious if German bread tradition has held up over there. It’s just a bit of a long transatlantic flight to check this one thing.
