I've shared much of my first panettone around, and still have a little left for breakfast slices when the fit takes me. Two more are on their way! 

I'd have e put a laughing emoji on your post except I'm gearing up to do the same thing.

You are so lucky that you can order all these things. I have to make them if I want them. I have made Kouign Amann from this recipe but I can no longer roll out the dough. However I do have two tourtieres in the freezer.

Some very nice panettones posted. This was a new brand for me, TreMaria, which was quite good and I would buy again.

Moist,  aromatic and not overly sweet.

The Atlantic chimes in: "The Luxury Makeover of the Worst Pastry on Earth"

 

Quote

On the internet, there exists a $102 loaf of bread that people talk about like it’s a drug. It’s a panettone—the fruitcake-adjacent yeasted bread that is traditional to Italy, and to Christmastime—and it is made by the California chef Roy Shvartzapel. Like most panettone, it looks like a giant muffin, with a dramatic domed top and gold-printed paper wrapping around its sides. It is, according to the box, “carefully crafted” by, among other things, “an endless drive to control time and nature, and a passion to please the senses.” (Okay!)

Interesting article which, in many ways, mirrors the time when the simple burger became something costing thousands!!! incorporating things like caviar, edible gold leaf and other, in my opinion, ridiculous ingredients just to make it more 'upscale' and expensive. 

I think I'll stick with decent versions of panettone under $20.00 Cdn.

I have just sent in my order (and funds) for another panettone from Goûter. My Christmas treat!
