Thank you Helga, for catching my error. I meant to ask if Maria Burger was alive near the end of World War TWO not World War One. Anne

I have a different version of why this dish is called Grenadiermarsch, e ven though my dad never said so. As it was probably made with a generous amount of fried onions, if they went on a training march you can imagine the effect! Anne

My Anton and Margaret MARTIN moved from Mucsi, Tolna, Hungary to Pecs, Baranya, Hungary in 1880. Then in 1893 they immigrated to Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, outside of Pittsburgh. They were Donauschwaben and their ancestors had lived in Mucsi since 1745. They traveled with three other families, so Pittsburgh was not home to a large group of settlers from that part of Hungary. All the family members are now deceased, so I have no one to ask. Are there some "typical" Donauschwaben traditions that they might have brought with them to the U.S.? Anton worked in a coal mine, but he also had a large vegetable garden and cultivated vines to have homemade wines. Margaret made pillows from goose feathers and cooked goulash and hasenpfeffer. What family or Donauschwaben traditions might they have maintained? Thanks. Joseph Martin Romeoville, Illinois -- There's no time like the past.

Eleanor, my mother would spend a good time in summer canning peaches, plums, pears and apple slices for use over winter. She would cook up LEKVAR, the apricot and prune fillings that were used in Christmas cookies and jam for toast. (recipes in my cookbook) We would wait for the fall availability of the FREESTONE Italian plums to use in Plum dumplings and Plum cake (Qwetche Kuchen). Those fresh plums when cooked or baked would develop the most wonderful purple juices.

She also made plum jam from Italian prune-plums every year. How I loved the deep ruby color and the plum skins curled like little flutes in the jar. > > ~Eleanor >

Mary Ann If Maria Burger lived near the end of WW I verm. could mean ‘vermisst’ (missing). Was she sent to a labour camp to the Soviet Union or to a concentration camp? Many women went missing during that time. Anne

Angela, here is the recipe for Grumbiere and Noodles (Potatoes and Dumplings with Breadcrumbs) exactly as it appears in my cookbook "June Meyer's Authentic Hungarian Heirloom recipes". Enjoy!! June Potatoes and Dumplings with Breadcrumbs (Morzsas krumplis gomboc) During the Great Depression I remember two dishes my Mother would make to feed our family during those lean years. One was KAISER'S SCHMARN and the other was Grundbarra Und Knoedel (Potatoes and Dumplings with Breadcrumbs). The dumplings were the basic Farina Dumplings cooked in water, served with peeled and cooked cut up potatoes and then served with breadcrumbs that were fried in a lot of butter. Not a dish to serve up for someone on a diet, but in those Depression years dieting was not a concern. We never went hungry, always went to bed with a full stomach. Potatoes and flour were always available and we always had a nice cooked fruit, like plums, peaches or a nice cucumber salad or cold slaw to eat with these meals. This dish still is a good lenten dish, or a respite from meat dishes. It is tasty. We children never knew how hard it was for our parents to survive this era. We did notice the concern on our parents faces when our shoe soles were worn out before the shoes were paid for. * 4 Tsp. butter * 4 eggs * Farina * 1/2 teas. salt * 4 med. sized potatoes * 1 cup of good Italian bread crumbs * 1 stick of butter for frying the breadcrumbs Mix the 4 Tsp. butter, 1/2 salt and the 4 eggs well. Add farina 1/4 cup at a time till you have a dumpling dough consistency. Then add a little water for moisture. Put on a large pot of water to boil. Add the raw potatoes to the pot and cook till almost done. Cut the dumplings into the water with a tablespoon. When they come to the top, cook about 5 minutes more. Drain potatoes and dumplings and toss into pan with fried breadcrumbs. Toss together so that breadcrumbs are evenly distributed. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Good to serve with a cold Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream and a cooked fruit like peaches, plums, etc. Serves 4.

Looking at an entry in the Deutsch Etschka Familienbuch under Reiber. He married a Maria Burger, and behind her name is "verm". Any suggestions on what that stands for? As always, thanks in advance. Mary Ann (From a summer like day up here on the prairies.)

Hello Angela, Here is Ann Dreer's recipe for another version of Grumbiere un' Nudle, also called Grenadiermarsch (march of the grenadiers). This has always been one of my favourite meatless meals and still is in my family. http://www.dvhh.org/cooking-donauschwaben-style/main-meal/Grumbiere-Knedle~dreer.htm Grenadiermarsch--why this unique name? I put that question to my mother years ago and she basically told me what I've read on the Internet. There are several theories, one of them being that when the grenadiers of the imperial army were on the march, food staples were often in short supply. However, the main ingredients--potatoes, onions, flour and lard--were usually on hand. This dish can also be supplemented with leftover meat or sausage. Enjoy!

Hello Mary Ann, Could it be that the original writing was ‘verw.’ instead of verm. Then it would mean she was a widow. That would make more sense. the only way to check it would be to look at the original. Just a thought. Anne D.

Hi Does anybody have a recipe for susskraut. I haven’t had it in years and is one of my favourites. Helga Kiely

My in laws emigrated on the General Blatchford in August of 1951, arriving in New York on September 5, 1951. They were in the DP camp in Cobenzl, Vienna. I don't think the passenger lists for the Blatchford's trips to New Orleans are on Ancestry. I searched yesterday after Teri and I were emailing each other. They might be at NARA and can probably be ordered.
