My email is not going through again!!! From: Anne Dreer Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2014 7:32 PM To: donauschwaben-villages@rootsweb.com Subject: Box Herndel Rita, The schwowisch Box Herndel really means BocksHörnlein, In Austrian Bocks Hörndel. This translates to Buck’s (little) Horn. The pods are shaped like horns. “lein” at at the end of a word in German means little, as in Kindlein, in the Austrian dialect Kindl or Kindel. Carob trees did not grow were we lived. My mother never used them. I checked my hundred year old Austrian cook book (we were at the time still part of Austria Hungary)and carob is not mentioned in it. They only grow in the warmer regions were the winters were mild and where citrus fruit fruit grows. Our area in Croatia had short, but very cold winters an a lot of snow.
