Döppekuchen potato flan. An Eifel speciality.

http://www.germany.travel/en/towns-cities-culture/traditions-and-customs/food-and-drink/doeppekuchen-potato-flan.html

I've recently made one and took some pictures. I'm from germany (Eifel area in Rhineland-Palatinate which is famous for its local cuisine Döppekooche)

It's famous because it is a "Arme_Leute_essen" (english: poorfag meal) and we traditionally eat it at St. Martin'S Day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin%27s_Day
scroll down to germany if you want to know more, it's always good to know some cultural background and traditions.

So let's start...

I'll use the metric system because I'm familiar with it, all temperatures are in °C

All we need to make one is:

tools:
-Roaster
-Grater
-knife
That's the basic stuff you'll need

ingredients
-Potatoes (4 to 6 kg, depends on how big your roaster is)
-Onions (about 2 kg. depends on your taste)
-smoked pork belly (about 0,5 kg)
-Mettwurst sausages (about 1 kg)
-Bacon (You could also replace the whole meat with it)
-some eggs (as much as you want, I didn't use them this time)
-black pepper, white pepper and grated nutmeg
-bread crumbs (I used toast which I've dried in the oven because I don't got something better)
-milk (enough to soften the bread crumbs)
-apple puree (only if you like it, it's serverd together with the finished dish)

Into the oven it goes...

it took about 4 hours @ 200°C.

If you want some kind of "Baumkuchen style", just push the crust into the roaster till it's covered wit some unburnt mass. You can repeat that till you think it's enough. I did it just once after 3 hours. (remember: woman usually don't like burnt stuff :>)

Thanks. This scar will remind me of my first thread here (also the knife)^^ It was a deep cut but, it hasn't hurt that much (thanks adrenaline). I tell you, a needle right into an open wound on your hand hurts very much, they pushed the needle 3 times in.

Hot dish doesn't seem to be very common outside the USA. I've never heard of it, but for what I've seen, it seems to be a big difference. Wikipedia for example says it contains ground beef, green beans, corn and canned soup. I wouldn't even think about putting this stuff into my Döppekooche :>

Are there any other countries with similar dishes like Döppekooche? Maybe east Europe?

Ist laut Wikipedia nur ein anderer Name. Hier wird der auch in jedem Dorf anders genannt, aber danke für den Tipp.

>>8150969
Good question, but I'm not that good with that grammatical stuff, that makes it hard to explain.

"Kleine" is a adjective which means "small"
he is "small" = Er ist "klein"
The "small" kids = Die "kleinen" Kinder

So the only negative word in this sentence "nicht", which simply means not.

As a native speaker I don't even think about this stuff, but I know how hard it is compared to, for example the english language.

Smoked pork belly has some bone fragments and skin, but it's also a cheaper and tastes better (don't know if other brands probably taste different) and you could also recycle the skin and bone fragments to spice up some soup or other cuisine.
