Hello, has anybody of you ever heard about the term "Russisch Brot"?

[Mario From Saxony]

Hello to everybody,

has anyone of you ever heard about the term "Russisch Brot"?
Or did anyone of you ever eat it?
it is a special type of biscuit made in Germany.
And there are only four companies that produce it.
"Russisch Brot" consits of letters. So it is good for children to learn a language.
What do you think would be a good English equivalent?

Thank you very much

I've never heard of Russisch Brot.

How about 'alphabet-shaped biscuits' or 'letter-shaped cookies'?

Hmmm, we had "alphabetti spaghetti" does that count?

Biscuit letters sound yummy.

'alphabet cereals' or 'alphabet crackers' are not too bad either!

"Russisch Brot" tastes like gingerbread baked as alphabet cookies instead of the Christmas-style round, flat cake on a host waver. Not sure if it is the same kind of dough, though. D'oh!

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your ideas of an English equivalent.

What about you, Claudia? As I can see you are a German. Have you ever had the chance to try it? Is it also popular in Franconia?

Thredder, "alphabetti spaghetti" sounds Italian to me. Is it right?
For me 'alphabet crackers' or 'alphabet cereals' is not bad, but it isn't really a cracker or cereals. So 'alphabet-shaped biscuits' is the most useful translation for me.

Thanks in advance.
Talk to you soon

Mario
