I chanced to find one of the better Cassell's German dictionaries for the
pittance of $8.50 and bought it immediately.
In it Schaub is defined also as a "tangle of straw" or a "sheaf." It also
had an interesting entry for Schaubrot (shewbread). It is possible, but not
provable, that what is intended is to pour the almond milk over bread (thus
creating a secondary dish).
Since the instruction does not appear to be germane to the actual recipe,
I'm going to let it go until I can find further evidence to support a
particular translation.
Now I have to find some decent semolina flour to make some Semmel to create
my semmel meal.
