funny how "rote kraut" is neither Dutch nor German...

[hydrolagus.livejournal.com]

Dutch doesn't figure into it. The "Dutch" in Pennsylvania Dutch is related to Deutsch--the German word for German, not to Holland. Rote is red, as in the red cabbage used; kraut is plant, most likely cabbage as in sauerkraut.

I know German but it's not correct German, at least no German German, that's what I meant.

Pennsylvania Dutch is a language in its own right, related to German but not the same thing. It's rather like English and Creole.

Excuse my ignorant mind. Im a language geek but probably a bit too limited in my thinking. All I thought was "OMG WRONG GRAMMAR! In Dutch AND German!**!" ...

Es iss Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch (http://pdc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsilfaanisch_Deitsch)!

fascinating stuff :D

[alagbon.livejournal.com]

It is indeed. I don't really have any roots in this area but the distinct language and culture fascinates me.

It looks a bit like Swiss German to me......

[alagbon.livejournal.com]

A fair amount of the earliest German-speaking settlers around here were from Switzerland, although most were from the Palatinate. I've never heard anyone speak actual Palatinate dialect; but I've spent time in Switzerland and there's definitely a resemblance to Schweitzerdeutsch.

[helflaed.livejournal.com]

My husband is from the Palatinate, and I can understand the dialect reasonably well- probably better than a lot of native German speakers, who find it utterly incomprehansible. I've tried to listen to Schweitzerdeutsch and find it extremely hard to understand anything.

Having listened to a few recordings of Pennsylvania Dutch being spoken, I found that I could understand a resonable amount. My husband would understand more and he'd certainly be able to have a pretty reasonable conversation.

Since the only non-standard German dialect that I'm at all familiar with is Swiss, I'm probably seeing more of a closeness than there actually is...

I love cabbage raw, but I've never cared for coleslaw. The sweet & sour cabbage looks interesting.

I'm from Lancaster County and I love all these recipes! I grew up with stuff like this! I actually have a WONDERFUL cookbook with these recipes and more called the "Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook" which is recipes from the Mennonite Community.

I live in South Jersey, and Lancaster is my favorite place in the world! My dream would be to live there, and I, too, grew up on these wonderful dishes! Oooh, you're so lucky! :)

Hmm, I've got a cookbook like this somewhere around here. We picked it up on vacation in Pennsylvania Dutch country years ago. :)

[leatherfemme.livejournal.com]

Close, but not quite. Guess it was one of those family recipes. Ah well, I do believe some experimentation is in order.

[leatherfemme.livejournal.com]

Oh and where are my manners...

Thanks!

[chamisa.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! :-)

That first one is how I make my red cabbage (minus the pressure cooker, just cover it and cook it longer)---OMG so delicious. I love it in the wintertime. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I know it's not cool but bacon grease adds so much! I have a little jar in my fridge. But for this recipe I actually cook three strips of bacon up and use that grease and then chop up the bacon and add it to the mix.

[chamisa.livejournal.com]

Cool--I'd like to try that recipe.

These are really Cool recipes Charisma - A Must try them out Post :)

What's A Cabbage :)

Ah! I love these recipes of the Past, and I am learning so much about the Cooking equipment of the Past days of Nastoca as well, I bet if someone posted just Images of Nostalgia and not Explanation of it, 80 percent of these Kids would have no clue as to their Functions Minus stating their Object title, Post an old Corn Scraper, or even a Flour Sifter and I bet we would have a Million Laughs as they tried to figure their proper uses out.
