The stuff shipped overseas for US consumption is dry and stale with too many preservatives. Properly made Stollen is delicious!
Maybe your wife's baking is bad? Lol j/k, it's probably prime quality and you just don't like Stollen. I've ran into this before. I suggest:
Get a fresh loaf from your wife (or a local German bakery). Cut a couple of slices and warm them in the toaster oven for a minute or two. Serve with butter (or rum-butter!).
Ideally, pair it with an ice cold Paulaner Dunkel.
It makes for a delicious pre-noon snack for you and your pals after a cold morning spent fighting wolves and bears (or fishing, mowing the lawn, etc). With the dunkel its definitely a manly & non-girly way to enjoy those sweet treats while avoiding the Hans und Franz jokes from that 'one friend' in your group. You know, the guy who's always trying WAY too hard to prove how much more masculine he is than everyone else... But you all know better. 🤣👍
And if you don't like Stollen after that, that's fine. 😁
