Ist's a progam made for children with short stories and then there are stories too that can/will interest adults too. This all is made in a simple but accurate speech. I think many Germans will agree that this is a good way to learn this language and learning somthing about things you never thought about too. Like years ago they showed how paper-clips were made.

Most Döner in Germany are actually made with beef, not chicken or lamb. Käsespätzle are a traditional Swabian dish. Swabia is a region, that covers parts of both Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. It's composition varies widely depending on the region - some only use spätzle an cheese, some *have* to have onions. Also sometimes it is just cooked/fried in a pan and sometimes it's made in the oven only. My family usually make the spätzle from scratch. It isn't difficult and fresh ones take on the cheese much better. We usually have a ratio of 1.5:1:1 for spätzle, fried onions and cheese, layered and then backed - and absolutely and decidedly NO CREAM! Yes, that is a lot of onions, but if they are nice and brown and caramelized, it is just delicious!

Schnupfnudeln is actually a great idea.

Scheurebe.. Good choice! And your German pronounciation is getting better and better!

A little advice for your schnitzel night: If it is not too time intensive (you got 4 children, so cooking has to be a lot of work) and you got a butcher around and a meathammer at home try to make schnitzel yourself. Maybe include some of your children as well to speed up the process. Like you first hammer the meat to make it tender and then your children can pretty much do the rest bevore frying as it is just to lightly coat it in four, followed by egg and breadcrumbs (usually from white bread or buns). It is a bit of a mess as the breading will no matter what you do find a way to build up on your fingers, but usually better than the store bought stuff!

Thank you!

"Schnupfnudelen" - "sniff noodelen" instead of "Schupfnudeln" made my day. :-D So cute. ;-) By the way "Schupf" comes from "schupfen" in the landscape meaning "roll, wallow", but is nowadays a more or less forgotten word.

The kids of my friends always called them Schupselnudeln. That sounds like „Schubsen“ which means push or shove.

Just a tip for the future: Instead of buying Ant SPRAY (of which you will inhale the fumes!), try the powdered form. That also stinks awfully, but I found it stays more local than a spray does (if that makes any sense to you). And once it's done its job, you can just vacuum it up. :)

Killing ants at all is badly regarded in Germany. This isn´t the U.S., all ants here are harmless and useful in God´s creation plan. Using that toxic stuff will also harm other creatures as well (and possibly your cat). In order to get ants out of the house there are several non-lethal methods.

@@denniswitt1638 You're actually right, and I would never wilfully harm an ant outside. However, I do not want them in the house. What I did when I had ants in the house (twice): I didn't pour anything on the ants but instead found their entry point and put it there. It helped! I should have mentioned that in my first comment. Don't kill the ants but block their entry way.

"Käsespätzle" is a southern german, suiss and austrian dish which is pronounced in the local dialect. In Swabia, where all things are small and the language is cute, they are called little Käse Spatzen, aka "Käsespätzle" (Spätzlein in high german) with all letters pronounced. In Bavaria, where everything is big and more serious, it is called Kaasspatzn. Accually I don't know how they are called in Switzerland and Austria. All I know is, that they make them in a pan in Austria and Switzerland, but make them in the oven in Swabia. Fun fact: they have nothing to do with the bird Spatz; the name comes from italian spaziare, or sweep, as the original are sweeped from a wooden plate into the boiling water (Spätzlesbrett).

Kässpätzle are my favorite.. next time just cook the Spätzle or even make them yourself.. (look for Goldspatz on Amazon. I think they have the best tools for it and they come with a recipe).. so cook the Spätzle in a salty water and layer them with cheese.. so Spätzle cheese, Spätzle cheese and so an. Top them with fried onion (I think you say French onion to it and eat it with tomato salad or lettuce.. the original way would be with potato salad (at least in my area).. Have you tried Kartoffelknödel? Potatoes dumplings? Or Dotsch? I‘m actually not quite sure if this a the proper name it’s what my Bavarian grandma calls them. It’s basically the same dough as for the Kartoffelknödel (you can buy them from the brand Henglein but any other will do too.. we dice a onion put them to the dough, add salt and Quark. I think we add a egg or two, too. Mix it till it’s smooth then we fry/bake them like American pancakes (yes I wrote that on purpose cause german pancakes have more the size of Crêpes).. and we eat it with salad or some of us eat it with apple sauce.. Guten Appetit!
