Cooking terms and German dishes is a fun idea Lestie, and you are right crumbed veal slices please, I don't think so.

Will definitely do an article on the topic, and will enjoy it.

Well apart from the "Eisbein" part.

It was given me as a 'special favor' just before the end of East Germany's existence. We were there for work, it was a luxury served to us as guests by a wonderful old lady who took us in from the rain, and heaven knows how she had found several as they were hard to come by there.

But I was two months away from producing my youngest son, huge and really off anything even vaguely 'meaty', so each mouthful was torture, but obviously could not 'not' eat it.

Have always remembered the old lady with great affection, almost ninety at the time, but have never eaten Eisbein again. smile

Thanks for the thought, and bringing back a super memory, Lestie.

Avatar: HOHENZOLLERNBRÃœCKE Cologne with CATHEDRAL and LUDWIG MUSEUM. The Bridge a symbol of how Germany was rebuilt after WWII, it was left in ruins, the Cathedral with roots in the 13th century represents the country's history, Museum of Modern Art the present day.
