Bubba's Poppy Seed Roll - Good any way you slice it!<\/p><\/div>\n

I cannot remember a time when I did not like homemade poppy seed rolls. Yet I know others have stories about never liking them or never even trying them. Of course not all poppy seed rolls<\/a> are the same and I am sure there are as many stories as there are recipes.<\/p>\n

This story happened not long after WWII. A short time after my uncle Johnny married his new wife, my mother (who came to be called “Bubba<\/a>” through her grandchildren) sent a gift home with her brother – one of his favorite things: a poppy seed roll<\/a>. When Johnny’s wife and sister discovered the roll they had no idea what it was. Before long they decided it was a joke being played on them and disposed of the roll.<\/p>\n

When Uncle Johnny got around to asking the sisters the whereabouts of the poppy seed roll<\/a> they lied, telling him how much they had liked the gift and that they had eaten it all. Uncle Johnny was beside himself with disappointment and frustration. \u00a0He demanded they bake him poppy seed rolls<\/a> just like his sister’s.\u00a0Rather than accommodate him they confessed that they thought someone used coffee grounds, or worse, and tried to poison them, so they had washed it down the sewer. After much ado about taste<\/em> and poison<\/em>, eventually there\u00a0was a nervous confession to my mom about the incident. Everyone was quickly put at ease\u00a0when she broke out in uproarious laughter!<\/p>\n

In 1983,\u00a0Mom passed away. \u00a0For years after I started the “Bubba Roll<\/a>” business, my aunt and her sister were my best customers… but I do not remember them ever buying poppy seed rolls<\/a> – just nut<\/a>, apricot<\/a>, or prune rolls<\/a> – mostly walnut<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How about you? \u00a0Do you have any family episodes relating to new or first impressions of a poppy seed roll<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
