 .If you were closer, i would send you one of these "rabanadas" that my mum used to do and handed over the secret to my wife  .One thing is sure; i wouldn't submit one of those to a "taste test" between Catalunians and Puerto Ricans; then you would see what a duel is about  .Apart from that, no quarrels in my threads ... definitely  I love you guys  ..

Beautifully said Nando!! and back atcha!!!
What the heck is a rabanada???? and no clue what a dwell is. Actually I'd be afraid to think what cowboys out here would put into an egg nog if they ever had such a thing Whatever it would be most likely would have an octane rating though. All the best, Jim |

Ah ah ah .
Oh Jim, i can't avoid laughing with my unwanted mistracking ... while i stand on my knees  I meant duel ... the mispelling completely drove you off .A rabanada is a local Christmas ex-libris. It is no drink, but a delicious dainty made with slices of (two days dried) bread, fried with tons of egg yolk and sugar, cinnamon and lemon scraping. You may add some honey or Port whine; not much octane though ... but i loved your guessing

Oh, you mean a "rebanada" (slice)...
Geez, you portuguese can't speak cristiano worth-a-darn. For a time I was trying to imagine some sort of bizarre local pastry made from rabanos (radish)... : ) Now seriously, a rabanada sounds awfully similar to a "torreja". But when you add Oporto, it must taste much, much better. In fact, my mouth is actually watering at the thought... And Jim, we may not have egnogg, but we have "queimadas",which is a vast improvement on the theme. Merry Xmas to all ! (or in cristiano: "Feliz Navidad") : ) M Quote:

Oopsies!
Jim, seems I inadvertently cross posted with the blade shape thread. Would you kindly relocate these posts to the correct thread? Best regards M |

New member of the forum here. I'm mainly into Norwegian Small-Arms and blades, but also have some rapiers, schiavonas etc. One of my rapiers seems very alike the really nice one you are showing, but I have always believed mine to be a German hilted Toledo blade from the mid 1600s. The stamp on the blade is a crowned F.
Any more information on it would be appreciated. Trond
