Oyyoyoyoyoy....not only am I relearning Yiddish and German but these
messages make me hungry. It seems that not only are the languages related
and linked but so are many foods. The mention of raisins in the Halusken,
holischkes, whatever, got my gastric juices running with the thought of
Sauerbraten in which after marinating it you use raisins and sour cream and
wine vinegar and the result makes me tremble just thinking about it.

I got the recipe out of a little recipe book that came with an old pressure
cooker. I don't know if Sauerbraten was popular in Cz. Toronto had a
couple of German restaurants, long gone now, where you could get it. Now
the town is filled with Chinese restaurants, Thai, Indian, Latin American, a
few Greek, some Italian, some Japanese but no German or French, or Eastern
European.

Back in Cz, Mother used to make what she called a Pischinger Torte with
"Oblaten." When I lived in Los Angeles I once decided I wanted to make one
and in that huge city of ten million people I could find none. I even
called the Austrian Trade Commission in the hope of getting some direction.
They got excited. They mistook me for an importer and wanted to accommodate
me with a railway carload of Oblaten. I explained I just wanted to make one
cake for a friend's birthday.

There was another brand - Karlsbader - one came from Austria and one from
Czechoslovakia. I finally found a deli in West Hollywood run by a German
American. He had a box of Oblaten possibly brought along by a Hessian
mercenary who was brought in by the British to fight the American
revolutionaries in 1776. Some of the oblaten had a few holes in them left by
hungry California grubs and I cheated with the filling. Mother used to use
seven hundred pounds of butter with chocolate to make the filling but I used
Nutella Hazelnut Spread - and it was still a great success.

What sort of foods can you find in Chernivtsi today?

Bon apetit,
Andy
