Hi, It took me some time, but now I believe to know what you are talking about: (Large) dumplings in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg or Rhineland-Pfalz are called "Knödel". Elsewhere they are called "Klöße". "Fleckerl" (patches) are pasta and don’t have anything to do with the above. The problem is, that in German you always have exceptions to rules and so people don’t care about south and north and just use the terms as they like. Regardless what these "doughballs" are made of (Potatoes - raw or cooked or bread/roll-pieces, add eggs, water or milk, and salt ) and boil them softly in hot water until they come up to the surface. These balls often where filled with minced meat, speck, greaves or kraut (when having made the balls, make a hole with your thumb, fill the cavity and close it again, before throwing them into the hot water). Perhaps you remember "Kartoffel-, Semmel-, Grieben, Speckknödel or -klöße"? How to make another dish called "Krautknödel" you can watch on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXCa20j81LQ . Many of you probably will be reminded of similar experiences made with Mom or Grandma. I admit, that I was really surprised that they called this dish "Schwowische Krautknödel" - my Grandmother called them "Krautwickel". However when you pronounce "glace" or "klace" in English it sounds very much like "Klöße" in German and that may be the correct answer to this topic. Have a wonderful Sunday Rainer -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: donauschwaben-villages-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:donauschwaben-villages-bounces@rootsweb.com] Im Auftrag von Eve Gesendet: Sonntag, 1.
