Re: [Cz-L] Piteygasse

In German and among us Czernowitzers, it was Manasteriska and not
Monasteriska or Manasteriste, the way the Romanians named it.
The Pumnulgasse within the Czernowitz city limits is a very short street,
but then it continues in Manasteriska as "Die verlaengerte Pumnulgasse for a
long way, as it runs parallel and south of the Klokuczka - Bach.
My father was born and lived in his youth on the Verlaengerte Pumulgasse,
as did the families of many the members of this list. Manasteriska was a
poor suburb of the city.
Relatives tended to live in close proximity to each other, my paternal
grandfather's older and better-off brothers lived on the Schiessstattgasse
and the Pumnulgasse respectively.

The Austria Platz was the farmers market, housewives went there every
morning except Saturday and Sunday, to buy butter and farmer's cheese
wrapped in a Rhubarb leaf, fresh vegetables and fresh fruit.
Heavy vegetables, such as potatoes, beets and cabbages were mostly delivered
in large quantities directly to the home of the buyer and kept in the
cellar. Cucumbers for pickling were also delivered to the home and so were
apples and pears for storing in the attic and the freestone plums
(Zwetschken) used for the making of Powidla, apricots for making jam and
cherries for the making of Vishniak.
To those of you who have never tasted this mixture of ambrosia and nectar;
Equal weights of cherries and sugar are mixed in a large jar and allowed to
ferment till they reach a reasonably high percentage of alcohol. The liquid
is drunk as a liquor and the cherries are used in deserts or served in small
amounts with a glass of water, the same as rose-petal preserves
(dulceatea de trandafir), another wonderful specialty.

My mother kept the Vishniak on the highest shelf of the credenza, but as
soon as I was left alone at home, you cam imagine where I was climbing.
