Ah, Ralf: I'd hoist a Schwabenbraeu with you anytime !! How about over a good platter of Kaesespaetzle ?? !! :-))) And, if you go to Australia, don't refer to your bum bag as a "fanny pack." Hoo boy !!! Dave Ross

Hey Ross, Let me tell you a story about Spätzle. It was about 1961, and I had met my wife, who had emigrated from Germany in 1959. I decided that I would begin courting. As I began , she made me a lunch of Schäbischepfannekuchen. It was there and then that I told myself that "This confirms, I must court in earnest." The next week, she made me a German dinner that included Spätzle vom Brett. (for those that don't know the term, it is the original way of making spätzle. The dough is put on a wooden cutting board (brett) and then using a large knife cut the dough into small pieces into the boiling water.) I said to myself, "This is the person for me- I cannot let her get away from me." We were married ........and that was the last time I had Schwäbische pfannekuchen and Spätzle vom brett for over 40 years. However, I must admit, if the Kaesespätzle was made from Spätzle vom Brett, I would join you and raise a Schwabenbraeu as well. PS - Ross, do you know what really draws me to the Schwabenbraeu. It is the pop cap that goes on the top of the bottle. It allows you to have half a bottle and snap it back on to save for later.
