Stefan replies In my area ("Unterallgäu" - in Regierungsbezirk Schwaben) we call this soup "Flädlesupp' " (it tastes marvellous! - actually you pour the hot broth over the slices with some spices - if the slices are too long in the liquid they get mashy and don't tast that good anymore). The name indicates Suebian origin, but could also be from Allgäu (mountains). Try it! Stefan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stefan - were the Pfannkuchen(pancakes) sour - that is made with a setback starter that made them more sour each day? Any Neimans/Neumans in your area I thought they might have brought the sour tasting buckwheat with them to the American Colonies. But I am beginning to think that possibly there were no sour Pfannkuchen(pancakes) in Europe? Your comment on the "Flädlesupp'" was most interesting. Regards Hal
