Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Number 33 on my 101 Things in 1001 Days list is to try a new food. Since I’m vacationing and traveling around to places that I’ve never been with my family- I thought that it would be a great place to really try something new- a traditional food for the area I was in.

We spent some time in the Black Forest area of Germany and it was there that I had the opportunity to try Spaetzle (which is a Germany dumpling/ egg type noodle). I didn’t find it to be really flavorful on it’s own- (quite bland to be honest), but mixed with the juices and sauce of the meat and mushrooms that it was served with- I loved it. They are definitely not a ‘light’ dish- but I can see myself making them this winter as a comfort food dish- served with some stewed beef and mushrooms. MMM MMM good. I came across this recipe which looks pretty tasty- (although I’ll leave out the nutmeg), that I may try this winter. Or I may ask my friend Andrea- who is part German if she has any great recipes for it passed down through her family. Those are always the best recipes.
