Then it would be the same dish as we germans and austrians know as "Kaiserschmarrn". A dish which was invented for the austrian Kaiser. We usually eat it with powdersugar, raisins plus/or vanilla sauce. I've never heard of it eaten with something salty or spicy....... In opposite of "Rührei/Ruehrei" which is exactely the same as scrambled eggs, eaten with salt and pepper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-67435957936676642262016-03-05T06:39:49.256-08:002016-03-05T06:39:49.256-08:00Best Rei recipe I have tried.

My most memorable memory was when my aunt and uncle loaded the car in 1956 with my cousin, our Grandmother, another lady and myself in southeastern MB for a weekend at the Lake of the Woods in the Kenora area. Lunch time arrived, we stopped at the side of the highway (now Trans Canada) climbed up to the top of a rock cut and there she cooked Ruhrei over a camp stove.

I want to print it all out for my cookbook of favorites if I can figure out how to print without pictures. My Mom's version of Ruhrei was to fry lightly whatever leftover potatoes she had (not mashed) and/or cubes of bread (I preferred it without bread, but Pop liked the bread, so it got bread!). She poured the beaten-with-a-fork eggs and saute'd until "right". This was often a Saturday night supper. My husband and I eat evening meals in the dining room of our retirement community, so this is going to be our noon Meal of Memories soon!

Could you explain the difference in the 2 recipes? It's also called Mennonite Scrambled Eggs and described as something between an omelet and a pancake. I think it was from "Judy."
