Ok well Darren said the pictures I wanted to put up were reminiscent of cat vomit so I chose a photo he agreed with. We made Spätzle! German noodles basically. I made the doughy paste, Darren cooked the noodles, grated the Jarlesburg and cut the onion. I fried the onion and put that, the cheese and the noodles in the oven together for around 15 minutes....then we ate! It was really good actually, more pebble poo in appearance then anything but tasting very much like what we had over in Ulm, Germany. Perhaps they could have been a little lighter in texture and another cheese would have been good to give a more interesting flavour, but we were proud of our efforts.
Interestingly, upon surfing the net for more tips on cooking this fine dish, I stumbled upon yet another Indian living in Germany (our host wife in Germany is Indian), who likes to cook and is an excellent photographer of her culinary skills.. http://whatsforlunchhoney.blogspot.com/2006/04/allgaeuer-kaesespaetzle-cheese.html
So using her recipe, the recipe on the noodle utensil and the Swabian recipe book our hosts gave us, we came up with our own yummy version. We liked it so much, we're making it for our Sunday lunch guests!
Thanks for finding the Indian woman's blog. Really a great blog. Makes me feel rather unoriginal though. How many Indians are there in Germany writing food blogs? Who are these teenagers coming to stay with you? The blog is looking spiffy, glad you are updating it regularly. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteDarren's school have like a little cultural exchange thing going with a small country town, West Wyalong. They work together to put on a performance at the end of each stay which will be on Tuesday night. Jai and Ben arrived tonight and are currently our for dinner and movies with Adrian and a whole bunch of kids.
