RE: [Cz-L] The making of the Powidla + Pitkowes+Porubsky

 Dear Mimi,

It seems that my mother shared your taste. She never cooked pitzieh and I
have never heard this word at our home ( in Rumanian- piftie)!

The document I'm talking about is a postcard written on July 7, 1918 by the
well known Czernowitzer writer and journalist Franz Porubsky.

He sits in Wien drinking "thin war-beer" and dreams about the food and drink
and the " fette Pitkowes" at my grandfather's Kramer restaurant on
Bankgasse in Czernowitz !

He must have been hungry and longing for Czernowitz.

In Vienna food-shortages were a big problem at that time. Was the situation
in Czernowitz better?

I believe Porubsky meant "calves foot jelly", as some of you mentioned.

Thank you,
Regards
Irene

The word "pitkowes" reminds me of hoofs, therefore it possibly means jellied
calf foot. P'tcha or Pitzieh, I think was actually jellied chicken feet.
I hated both, so please excuse me it I am wrong.
