Forgive me if I'm going overboard but this just seems weird to me. I can't see that number without taking pause.
Could have been 18 or even 19 being contained within a rectangle. But the 18th is not like the others so I stick with 17.
It's also a German Christmas bread. That's the first thing I thought of.
Stollen is a fruit bread of nuts, spices, and dried or candied fruit, coated with powdered sugar or icing sugar. It is a traditional German bread eaten during the Christmas season, when it is called Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen. Wikipedia
ok. You're right. I need to quit thinking of that number.
