Don't forget pumpernickel! My FAVORITE burger is the Goose Island brewpub's burger - mix of bison and beef, loads of freshly ground black pepper, roasted garlic pieces, stilton cheese, pumpernickel bun. Nom.

I am the bread maker in the family... and then one day BAM, my wife makes this amazing pumpernickel bread.  Chewy, sour, rich, rye, caraway...  awesome!  

Says I, "Where you been hiding this all these years baby?!

Now she makes two loaves twice a week (says the secret is unsweetened chocolate powder).  I can eat a whole loaf by myself in one sitting.

Pumpernickel = devil's fart

Rye makes lovely bread, beer, and whiskey that's for sure!  Caraway in spaghetti may be a bridge too far for me, but if you like caraway, snag some akvavit!  Rye bread, cheese, smoked salmon or gravlax, and cold akvavit...skal!

Rye and pumpernickel are awesome in just about every form.  Rye pizza crust is killer.  I even make rye noodles for my chicken noodle soup.  Ok 1vert I need an explanation of the caraway in spaghetti.  How much?  Is it part of the cooking process or sprinkled on top?

hmm, will have to try akvavit

Jay, I prefer it cooked in with a batch...but it gets in the wife's dentures and she does not
like it because of that so....If she cooks the spaghetti, I just sprinkle it on top.  As for how
much, I would not mind a Heaping teaspoon in a 12 inch skillet full of sauce....more or less..
(prolly more).  
Caraway is commmonly used in the Italian sausage and that is where I found that It goes
well in Spaghetti for me....so, If I make sauce that is shy on the Italian Sausage I just
add a jag of Caraway for the void.

When I lived in Europe we could get a caraway gouda. I can always get cumin gouda but never caraway. Haven't had caraway gouda in over 25 years. :-\

This reminds me of a beer and food pairing a friend and I did last year.  He made these little Reuben sandwich sliders and I paired my Export lager with them, but I added the caraway seed to the beer instead of the bread.  It was a great match.  The beer smelled like rye bread.

cool, thanks. I use caraway in potato soup all the time for the same reason (shy on sausage). but most of the time i use a touch of fennel for my potato soup and my spaghetti.  looks like a few experiments are in order.

One of my favorite sandwiches is Imported Polish Ham + Imported Swiss cheese + sliced deli pickle + stone ground mustard on some fresh Rye Bread.   :)

My wife is a traditional American fare sort of girl at heart, and she usually tolerates me when I get creative, but as much as she loves pasta she might murder me if I tinkered with it as such.  She barely let me put in fennel at first!  :D

Caraway just makes me think of Eastern or Northern Europe!  Which in turn makes me want to go find a bottle of Aalborg...
