I LOVE your site, have already cooked some of the recipes (and earned praises from husband , mother in law and SILs and BILs- all Ecuadorian). I do like it a lot that the measurements are in cups which makes it a lot easier in a still not so well equipped kitchen in Ecuador, where I am currently living. As I am German (originally from nothern Germany near Hannover) please let me help you with the terms. <br />Schmandt is NOT the same as plain cream (Sahne). Sahne ist more liquid, the one you would use for whipped cream. Saure Sahne ist more or less like sour cream without salt, herbs or other spices. The french have a product called creme fraiche which is nearly he same in flavor and texture but has a higher fat percentage. When used as ingredient in sauce dishes I think you can replace Schmandt with plain cream, Only the texure of the sauce will be a little bit more liquid (which you can make thicker with al little bit of starch). However in sweet dishes it changes the flavor if you use Sahne instead of Schmandt and also you can not whip Schmandt (well you can but it doesn´t get any fluffier).<br />Schmaundt must be low German, but not the low German dialect of my region. However West Prussian dialect would be very different, I am not sure if these days anyone still speaks that dialect, als West Prussian since the end of WW II is no longer part of Germany and hardly any Germans live there anymore.<br />God bless you and thanks again for his lovely and inspiring site,<br />AnemoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-258592466925937772014-02-03T16:27:52.707-08:002014-02-03T16:27:52.707-08:00I'm in the process of making these, and will s...I'm in the process of making these, and will serve with noodles tossed in sour cream :) Yummy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-37368588919403009612014-01-30T11:18:38.955-08:002014-01-30T11:18:38.955-08:00Thanks Anonymous for your support.

Smoked ham is also gives a lovely taste.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232992558954142820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-43942389780032718342014-01-29T20:49:42.169-08:002014-01-29T20:49:42.169-08:00Not sure if I'm of any help but what I remembe...Not sure if I'm of any help but what I remember about cottage rolls is a pork shoulder roast that's been cured in brine. I've not seen one in my grocery stores in years but I do know they're still out there to be found in some Canadian grocery stores. The photo above looks more like the small boneless hams found in the meat dept. of most grocery stores so would be a different taste than a cottage roll but looks to be equally as tasty. Not sure if links are permitted but you can try your hand at making/curing your own cottage roll with the recipe on the link. <br />Cheers<br />http://www.lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29083<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-52805951743169203832014-01-29T06:04:34.591-08:002014-01-29T06:04:34.591-08:00This looks really great - but can you tell me what...This looks really great - but can you tell me what "cottage roll" is? I tried to google it and it seems to be a Canadian thing but surely we must have this in the US but possibly by a different name. And if we don't have it (different regions have different things too - or name things differently) can ham be substituted?

I loved all her food and my mom taught me to cook that way. She was also German Dutch and my great grandparents were low German so I love your recipes. It is very cold here in Ohio as it was -7 deg this morning and our Ohio River is froze solid. We are having an unusually cold winter. I am looking forward to Spring.
