A seller says that the stamp of "DIN 40" means not 1940 but engineering specification.
Right, I also have some of these.

"DIN" means "Deutsches Institut für Normung" or "German institut for standardization".
"Anything" you can produce over here, refers to a "DIN" so any manufacturer producing it, must follow the same (technical) rules and specifications.

That canned bread was developed by "Konrad Michel", a master degree baker living the same city I´m living now. For that article, the news paper asked me if I have a canned bread for them to picture - I had :mrgreen:

A great video! I was never a big fan of rye-bread, but I tried this in an EPA and it was actually very good. It was very tasty with the margarine and the meat products. Next time I will try them with the jams.
