[Sca-cooks] Changing the subject to fladen

[El Hermoso Dormiendo]

Ah, my friend the Book of Good Eats, we meet again...

Actually, I've been trying to figure out exactly how to classify 'fladen'
myself.

As far as I can tell, a "fladen" just refers to something being a "flat
cake" (I BELIEVE that in modern German, 'fladen' is also a euphemism for a
'cow patty'...).  So, anything that's a 'patty' or 'pancake' or similar 
shape might be called a 'fladen', regardless of what it's made of.

Speaking of German translations, is it just me, or does the online translation
of Sabina Welserin mistakenly confuse "tarts" and "torte" in several
places (something my wife noticed...)?

signed,
El Hermoso Dormiendo, rapidly developing a fondness for (medieval) German
food...
