Anybody tried schupfnudels?

7 January 2006, 12:46

Schupfnudels are a German potato/pasta concoction that when boiled has exactly the appearance and chewy consistency of lug worms.

For catching fish attracted to bait by sight, a schupfnuedle on a hook would be healthy in moderation and almost as good as the real thing.

P.S. I bet threaded loves them!

Oh yes, used to eat these quite a lot when I worked in Friedrichshafen.
Strange though, I'm sure mine were fried. Or maybe that's the Glasgow version.

Bit like Italian gnochi, though those look more like witchetty grubs.

Damn, I'm hungry now.......

And what do they suggest we serve them with?

Westphalian sour-roasted Horse

German cuisine, eh?

Hmmm, reminds me of Spätzle, we used to have them served quite regularly in the Daimler Chrysler restaurant in Ulm. I wasn't too keen, I don't like Gnochi either!

I was never keen on any German cuisine, except sausage rolls at the footy. The meals in the canteen at Alcatel Stuttgart always seemed to be pig-based, and when our German teacher took us out for a meal, she talked us into having this brown, German speciality soup which she told us at the end was pigs blood.

She had big tits though.

I have to be honest, that sour-roast horse sounds really great. Horse is my all time favourite meat and the marinade they're putting it with sounds lovely.

As to pigs' blood soup, well, that's only like a liquid form of black pudding. As long as it tastes nice I'm up for a bowlful.

Well, there I was at a party in a restaurant that my client had set up in Kyoto. I was eating this bowl of what I thought were Schupfnudels then I noticed the eyes at one end and the little tail fin at the other...

So they do taste like lemon eels.

Might try the recipe but use a big piece of brisket instead of the horse. After 5 days in the marinade it should be yummy.

Sounds like a good idea - a sort of pot roast variant . I bet it would be nice done with venison also.

P.S.
Can I come for dinner?
