SC - EINTOPF history & recipe

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

Hello Listies,
I asked my friends on the Jewish list that I'm on if anyone had heard of or 
made  EINTOPF  since many of them lived through that awful time and some of 
them are themselves Germen, here are there answers and a recipe.

I asked Bill who was in Germany during the early Hitler years.  He said that 
Hitler mandated the Germans to make an eintoph meal two times a week to 
conserve energy.  Eintoph literally translates to "One Pot" which is a 
casserole.  It would be similar to our Cholent dishes
Stay well,
Cindy
