The dish normally came with small “Fleischküchle” (fried small meatballs) and steamed potatoes. Grandma cut the fresh small leaves into thin strips and threw them into the pot a minute before serving. Using cream or sour cream was a question of what she had at home. The children preferred the mild taste of cream, the adults liked the fresh and the slightly sour taste of sour cream.

We still eat this dish at least once a month.
