This is the famous Prosciutto Bread, the instant hit of the party:

The fight of titans: Poilane vs. Schonfeld (you already know from the previous posts who won)

Lionel Poilane, directly from Paris with love:

Great pictures, Helena. I didn't get to see the Gully logo on Robert's bread, since he was all sliced up when I go to it.

smoked fish, epoisses, mushrooms:

sausages, haddock pate and smoked mussels:

Helena, thanks for the wonderful pictures - and for giving everyone the rare opportunity to compare the masterpieces of Poilane and Schoenfeld!

Someone left behind a black pullover sweater - the label says Outlander.

Wow, I've never seen such a gorgeous assortment of breads and accompaniments. Great pictures!

Sandra, thanks for including the link for your proscuitto bread. I haven't made bread in years, but these photos have inspired me to give it a go again. I hope others will also include their recipes. The babka and monkey bread sound interesting and different... something I have never tasted before, but would like to.

And Toby's peppery pork belly rillettes... you can't imagine how good that sounds... yum. Toby, how do you make that?

I made all kinds of open-faced grilled cheese things this morning with leftover bread of various kinds. We went to Fairway on the way home last night and bought gruyere, mozzarella, bleu cheese, ham, tomatoes, basil, etc, etc. We made lots of combinations - some with butter, some with olive oil, some with garlic, and with many combinations of the stuff we bought...delicious. Thanks to everyone!

What Liza said. Every single picture has me salivating. "A good piece of bread is better than cake."

We had Nina's babka with coffee this morning. Yum!

Would Ed Schoenfeld please post the recipe of the mushroom dish he brought with the name of the Chinese variety of mushroom? I looked for it at Fairway today, but alas.

[CathyL]

For breakfast I had a slice of Le Maître Schonfeld's olive bread, lightly toasted and topped with Toby's rillettes. Superb

When I got home I remembered that Bux had kindly left me one of the delicious homemade sausages he brought.

[jaybee]

Silly me. I left empty-handed. (with the exception of a container of creme fraiches I was given as a petit quelque-choses).

Wah.

[Liza]

I know, Jinmyo, I know. It's like the Great Headless Egulleteers and their Marvelous Bread Products .

[helenas]

So do you really want Great Heads-on Egulleteers?

[jaybee]

When you really get to know everyone, you can recognize them by their knees.
