Happy National German-American Day!

This one is apparently an official national designation.

Does anyone know where to get pre-made spaetzle around here?  The kind you get in a box?  I know there are easy recipes to make home made spaetzle, but I’m not sure I have time today.

It’s also apparently national noodle day.  So that intersects.

I've seen the box kind in the Millburn Shoprite.


No luck at Stop and Shop.

I'm really craving spaetzle now. I wonder how hard they are to make from scratch.


It was unavoidable: We missed German Night at Verjus on Friday. Here's a spaetzley menu from several months back...

-s.


Barths Market in NP is German and has lots of German foods.


made them from scratch one year. Never again.


Ha! Thanks for the warning campbell29.

A friend has my back. Spaetzle soon.


Another time you will find it at Millburn Shoprite. Saw it there today in aisle with canned goods and right next to a box of potato pancakes.


Ahhh, but where do they serve brat kartoffeln like in Germany, or roesti like in northern Switzerland?


Rod's 1890s Steakhouse out in Madison does have roesti potato as a side dish. We used to go there for special occasions ... haven't in many years.


Since @mrincredible reliably contributes to my threads I will share my favorite German recipe. 

Place stein on table next to bottle. Open brew carefully with bottle opener. Pour.


Okay, now I gotta put this here.


Grandpappy Incredible on my mom's side was apparently of 100% German extraction. We don't know a lot about his family.

So maybe that's why the drinking song from the Student Prince always gives me a bit of a thrill. Even though it's sung by Mario Lanza, not exactly of German ancestry.

 Its a great song!
