Hello Ralf, Thanks for your wonderful trip report. I notice it began in Heilbronn and it interested me as my gggrandparents came from the area in 1849. Actually, they were from Niedernhall and Ingelfingen not too far from Heilbronn. I want to know if you are familar with these places? Their names were HARTMANN and SCHMETZER.

You folks sure know good eatin! We purchased our smelt in the grocery store's seafood dept in IN. Krogers or A & P. stores. They were fresh around the middle of March. I have since purchased them in NC... frozen. Not as good as fresh but I love smelt, it was frozen or nothing! Considering the alternative, I made the best choice.

Yep, it's true. My husband who doesn't even care that he is part German has bought Jägermeister in Georgia (apparently he does care about THAT part of him which is German <vbg>). If I recall correctly, the bottle is green, with a white and brown label? If I also recall correctly, it reminded me of the smell of black licorice? <g> Joanne In a message dated 06/14/2001 5:56:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Burgenlaenderin@aol.com writes: > Just thought some of you would be interested in knowing that Jägermeister can > > be purchased in some liquor stores in the USA.

Karin: Up here in God's country (the Rockies of Colorado) they're called "Rocky Mountain Oysters", and they're a delicacy !! Dave Ross, Denver

Just thought some of you would be interested in knowing that Jägermeister can be purchased in some liquor stores in the USA. If I remember, there is a beehive logo on the label. I believe the alcohol content is higher than average. Margaret

<<My family at Christmas time used to open that small wooden keg with all that smelly, or I will call it rotten fish and eat away....and my Dad used to sit and eat cans and cans of sardines and you couldn't even stand to be in the same room>> Are you sure that wasn't herring in that small wooden keg?

Mark: Jägermeister is a liqueur, very strong, like hyper-gin. It's a "Schnapps" and a great after-dinner shot !! I don't know if it can be made at home, so I'll be as interested as you to see what others have to say about it. Dave Ross

LUMBY: My grandma ALSO did brains, and I loved them. Her usual preparation was with scrmbled eggs, the brains and eggs mixed together and done in the skillet with butter, or whatever. I'm certain she'd pre-cooked the brains, but I don't remember. All I know is that it was a delectable dish for eating !! Dave Ross

Thank you Heinz for the information. Other than the "alcohol kick", does the mixture serve any purpose in/after a meal? I kind of remember reading somewhere that certain herbal drinks were used to help with the digestion of certain foods. Is Jägermeister one of them? And would there be a popular non-alcoholic version of a digestive herbal drink in Germany? Any information would be helpful. I have been trying to learn more about my German heritage since my parents passed away. Take care, Mark Unfortunately, Mark, it's store bought. "Jägermeister" is the brand name for a herbal spirit.

You brought back a lot of memories. I ALWAYS asked what was for supper at Gramma and Grampa's house! They were pretty good about having something else for me and thank goodness mama didn't force me either. It all smelled so dang good and then I'd be told what it was. I do like smoked carp and eel but not too hot on other German "delicacies" except pastries. Are limburger cheese and pickled pigs feet German cuisine?

Katharina: I don't have a Jagermeister definition as such to tell, but it could be the same thing. Two years ago, my wife Sonja and I were travelling in the Black Forest, and we stopped for the night at a Gasthaus. They didn't have hot food, only cold. One of the only attractive items (for me) was Geräuchente Forellen (smoked brown trout). The only problem was, that smoked food, for me, had a habit of returning to me for the rest of the day to "Grüss Gott zu sagen". The German gentleman next to us told us "Keine Angst", all you need to banish the heartburn was one small glass of Schnapps. Trusting him. I ate the smoked Trout, drank the shot of schnapps, and had no problem that night. Since then, whenever I had a bout of heartburn, I drink a shot of schnapps, and it works every time. Just substitute Yaegermeister, for schnapps. Ralf At 04:07 PM 6/14/01 -0400, you wrote: >Hi Katharina, > >Just what is Jägermeister? Is it a drink that can be made at home? Or is it >store bought?

Dave and Karin: Again, my 4 cents worth. I love Tongue. Dave, my mother cooked it the same way yours did and served it the same, and she was born and brought up in Canada of two very British parents who immigrated here from Cambridge and Exeter, in the late 1800s. Speaking of immigrating. I was posted to Munich Germany 1964-1967 with the Kanadische Auswanderungs Bureau, then on Josefspitalstr, in the middle of the Red light district.. This latter is beside the point, but thought you would be interested. One day a German male, who had immigrated to Canada some years previously, came to the office with his brother. He was trying to convince his brother to immigrate to Canada as well. His brother had reservations because he would miss his favourite dish, brains from cows and pigs. His brother told him that he must put up with that, because in Canada they didn't eat things like that they fed them to the dogs. I cannot comment on that sentiment because I have never eaten brains.

We didn't just eat everything that came from the animal. We also made toys. You can blow up the bladder of a pig, tie a string to it, and tie the string to a stick. It makes a kind of balloon, perfect for bopping your brother. It can stay inflated for a long time. Im not sure how long; it was usually confiscated by a parent or dog by the end of the afternoon.

Jaegermeister is a bitter drink made from herbs. You drink it after a heavy meal to avoid indigestion. Or, you drink it at $1 Jeagermeister shot night at the local college hangout. One shot is OK. Shots 2 and beyond makes for a very unpleasant next day. As far as my parents are concerned, I have no Jaegermeister stories. I was too busy studying. ;) Karin > At 04:07 PM 6/14/01 -0400, you wrote: > >Hi Katharina, > > > >Just what is J�germeister? Is it a drink that can > be made at home? Or is it > >store bought?

Yes, my father-in-law, who was from Hamburg, loved to fix calf brains with chopped onions and scrambled eggs. We would eat it on toast, and it was great. Tongue is also great, and I would buy it at Lexington Market in Baltimore. Another favorite from the market was pickled pigs feet and knuckles.

Of course, I grew up eating them. I moved to Texas when I was in highschool--west Texas, where they round up the calves annually and cut off their reproductive parts and EAT THEM!!!! They call them sweetbreads or calf fries. I call them fish bait. Who got the idea that stuff was edible? Ughh. Karin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
