Allgaeu cheese spaetzle (noodles) with onions
Hello Martyn,
This is what I found about one of our regional dishes:
Spaetzle [SHPEHT-sluh; SHPEHT-sehl; SHPEHT-slee] Literally translated from German as "little sparrow," spaetzle is a dish of tiny noodles or dumplings made with flour, eggs, water or milk, salt and sometimes nutmeg. The spaetzle dough can be firm enough to be rolled and cut into slivers or soft enough to be forced through a sieve, colander or spaetzle-maker with large holes. The small pieces of dough are usually boiled (poached) before being tossed with butter or added to soups or other dishes. In Germany, spaetzle is served as a side dish much like potatoes or rice, and is often accompanied by a sauce or gravy. The cooked spaetzle can also be pan-fried with a little butter and onions (usually a good left-over idea).
Cheers
Claudia

: Yes, but frankly, nothing to do with noodles. Do not translate

I wouldn't suggest to translate it but Spätzle is a kind of noodle at least it is concidered as noodles in Germany.

: I agree, don't translate. But Spätzle are not dumplings, that's for sure.
