“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Glitscher

 

Ingredients

3 medium raw potatoes
1 3/4 lb potatoes, boiled in their jackets a, day ahead
3 tbsp to 4 tb (heaping) flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 salt



 

Preparation

So called for their well-known propensity to slip ('glitschen') off
one's plate, 'Glitscher' are also called 'Wetzsteine' (whetstones)
because they are more or less the same shape (although shorter) as
the old-fashioned sharpening stones used for a sickle or scythe blade.

Grate the raw potatoes into a bowl full of water, then place in a
coarse muslin bag or wrap in a rolled-up dishtowel, and wring out
thoroughly. The boiled potatoes should be cooked a day in advance,
then peeled and grated on the following day. Combine the two, along
with the flour, eggs, and water, and mix thoroughly; season with
salt. Shape the dumplings with wet hands. The dumplings should be
fairly long and pointed at both ends. Cook in simmering salted water
for about 20 minutes.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
