In Germany there are as many potato salad recipes as there are households. In the north it is often made with mayonnaise and cucumbers, in the south some meat broth is essential. The Baden part of Baden-Wurttemberg makes the potato salad even warm with hot peeled potatoes and hot meat broth.
In Hesse the potato salad is made quite simple with onion, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Important is a very tasty potato, which should not be...

Iberico pork is often advertised at our Kaufland. The meat is a good 3-4 times more expensive than normal domestic pigs. But it also has an incomparable quality. In the case of factory farming in stables that are far too narrow, PSE meat can sometimes occur. The term is composed of Pale, Soft and Exudative. As I said, it can, but does not necessarily have to be. But what is almost always the case is that in areas with very less fat...

Friday March 17th was Museum Day. It went to Hochdorf an der Enz, a district of Eberdingen am Hohenasperg. The summit of the Hohenasperg was inhabited as early as the Neolithic Age, from 600 BC by the Celts. Unfortunately, only three exhibits from that time were found on the summit, and there are countless archaeological sites all around. Among them was an absolute main prize in the lottery, the "prince's" grave in Hochdorf, which...

An onion roast is a fixed institution for the Swabians as an alternative to the Sunday roast. It's basically a boneless slab of sirloin (New York strip) but with the fat top, covered in a thick onion gravy. This is the simplest case. To refine the whole thing a bit, roasted onions are topped over the onion sauce.
A very traditional side dish is spaetzle sautéed in butter and a mixed salad that includes a spoonful of Swabian potato...

I may be an old sack, but every now and then it still flashes between my synapses. There was something with falafel, tahini, hummus and everything was stuck in the back of my mind like an unwashed toilet. An Arabic wrap that combines everything was the brilliant idea. The flatbread is topped with a salad of lettuce, cucumber and tomato, and the falafel are on top. The sauce forms hummus and is rounded off with spring onions. 2 wraps...

For the hummus, how can it be otherwise with such famous dishes, there are several origins of the name. In Wikipedia there is a stringent reference to an old name for the chickpea. Is possible. It is also possible that the name comes from the city of Homs in Syria, which may have derived its name from the chickpea because it was grown there. There is the fog of war but also the fog of history.
PS: Wikipedia hasn't leased the wisdom...

Falafel are patties made from chopped chickpeas or thick fave beans. Both plants were native to the old world, i.e. pre-Columbian. The chickpea is widespread in the Levant, i.e. Syria, Lebanon and Palestine/Israel, while in Egypt the field or broad bean is used. Chickpeas are thrown after you in a German supermarket, you can look for a long time for the big bean (unfortunately it's so tedious to remove the thick skin).
In any case,...

This is the bread that is served with almost every hearty meal in Arabia. This serves as a spoon for many dishes with sauce, as people in Arabia still traditionally eat with the right hand. The left hand is considered impure.
If this is done correctly, the bread will puff up like a balloon when it is baked in a very hot oven or, as here, in a pan, which later collapses again when the bread cools. In Egypt it is called Aish baladi,...

Tacos come from the TexMex cuisine of the southern USA. You can make them yourself with cornmeal and water, but you'll need a taco press. For me it's frills, I would use the thing at most once a year. So I buy my taco shells in our supermarket in the exotic shelf.
Tacos are thought to derive from the Mexican tortillas, also made from cornmeal, that are tumbled into a mold to form the usual shell, which is then stuffed with whatever...
