re: "Spätzle"

This comes from "Schwaben", a former German state more or less around Stuttgart, well known from manufacturers like Daimler-Benz and Porsche, but also famous for his kitchen.

"Spätzle" is a diminuitivum of "Spatz" - and this means a small bird, using correct German "Sperling". Because this bird is small, a special small part of young male kids is called "Spatz" too - in certain regions.

When you form noodles cutting and sliding away from a bord into the cooking water, they can become a similar look like this bodypart - but even more smaller <g> - it could be the stress facing the hot water - so that they look like small "Spatzen" - though "Spätzle".

Similar kitchen-stories could be told from "Bubenspitzle" (from "Baden") or "Stracke" (how we from the "Saarland" call this part in a more erected state) or "Verheirate" (means married Spatz, how we call a more smooth variant of this meal)

Sorry for bothering you with this, but some items are to important for letting them out, fellow Dudes. <g>
