My day so far in Germany: wake up without alarm at 3:30, have coffee and smoke a joint with my husband (it’s his day off), eat cold vegetable Maultaschen (my beloved) for breakfast, walk to my job at the bakery for my 5:00 shift, run around sweating all day until my shift ends at 13:00, walk home, decompress, and eat the rest of the Maultaschen.
In an hour or two, my husband and I will go sit on the riverbank a couple blocks away, smoke a few joints, and he'll play the banjo (very uncommon here) while I read until we want to have dinner. Then we’ll make open faced sandwiches for dinner (very common here), and try to get to bed by 20-21.
Does maultaschen mean mouth pockets?
Yes, literally translated it does. Maul is a bit on the vulgar side these days, you'd say Mund instead. For animals often Maul is still used. And if you tell someone to shut up you tell them Halt's Maul (hold your mouth)
Trap pockets.
Yup! But ruder, more like maw pockets
But why though? Why would anyone call them that?
I guess in English we have stupid names for foods too.
Their other name is Herrgottbescheißerle, or (roughly translated) lord god bullshitters, because they are said to have originated in Swabia as a way for people to eat meat during lent, because the meat was fully encased in dough, and therefore god wouldn’t see people eating it. I don’t know if that’s really true, but it’s a good story and a funny name.
Which is funnier because OP said theirs is vegetarian.
Yeah, I wanted to specify because I didn’t cook them and I don’t know if that’s safe for the meat ones. It’s moderate gremlin behavior, but I eat them straight out of the packet and they’re still bomb. I prefer the taste of them fried with onions, but not enough that it’s worth doing too often. Plus, they’re perfect nutritional macros for me as they are. People also eat them in broth, sometimes with vegetables, but I always find they’re kind of inconvenient to eat as a soup.
They are safe raw. Maultaschen are filled with "Brät" which is coocked or fried (gebraten). At least the traditional ones. And the normal Bürger Maultaschen do as well. You might find some variety thats raw but i doubt it for any you find in the store.
I think the more common translation is feed bags (the things you can tie in front of a horse's mouth)
Ok this makes a lot more sense as a translation.
What is an open faced sandwich? Like a slice of bread with toppings?
Exactly, just a sandwich with only one piece of bread. It’s probably the most common dinner here, because people traditionally had big meals at lunch, but that’s slowly changing
I like how basically every culture has dumplings & they're all delicious. if there are grain and egg to make pasta cooking stuff in a little pasta pocket is obviously the next step.
this comment made me hungry 😅
