Re: [Cz-L] TOCZERL

RE: TOCZERL
I have never heard this term. I spoke today with my aunt, living in
Montreal, aged 96 with and excellent memory and she also said that the
small potato pancakes were called latkes. Tocz or its equivalent
Barebulniek was also made from grated raw potatoes, but were baked in
a form like cake, with addition of yeast in the oven. Latkes were
fried
without yeast
 with oil in a pan on the stove.

I never tasted Tocz nor Platzerl in Cz, ie. I only know them both from what I enjoyed as a child in France when my mother did them on special opportunities.
> So, first of all, I never heard before the name Toczerl: we called them "Platzerl", like Gaby and Mira Rinzler: are we the only ones? In addition, I believe that the word "Latkes" is the Polish version of our Platzerl - a friend of mine, whose mother was from Poland and whose family didn't even know about Bukowina, called them "Latkes". Lastly (for this first point) you can find nowadays some kind of Platzerl in Cz (in particular at Knaus Restaurant) where they are called "Derony" But make sure not to order the stuffed ones!
