[Sca-cooks] Period German menus

[femme delyon]

Hi,
  I went and had a look at the recipes posted on your site and found them fascinating for a couple of reasons; I could wrangle through the German if reading it aloud(like Shakespeare:) )and I LOVE mushrooms so these will come in handy in the future I'm sure.Thanks for posting.

Well, i have about 23 German mushroom recipes translated from several 
different sources.
http://home.earthlink.net/~lilinah/Food/Misc_Hist_Food/23GermanMushroomRecipes.html

While English cookbooks just say "mushrooms", the German cookbooks 
are very specific about each kind, which is why, when skimming 
through them, i didn't spot them.

At that time (early in 2001) Thomas Gloning was still on this list. 
He sent me a batch of 15 recipes from Rumpolt, then unsubbed from 
this list, then sent me another batch of recipes from several 
sources. And he apologized for not having time to translate them for 
me! I was just thrilled to get some recipes.

The German is quite different in each batch and i don't really know 
German - i audited one semester of German for grad students (so we 
could get a general grasp on research). However, i managed to bungle 
through. Gwen Cat looked over my first batch of translations for 
egregious errors. Then in 2004 i had a fatal hard drive crash and had 
to do them all over again. Giano was most gracious in looking over 
and commenting on the whole batch.

Gwen and Giano helped figure out what some kinds of mushrooms were. 
Then later i did a web search of German sites for mushrooms and 
figured out two more kinds. We never did quite figure out, however, 
what some of the specific kinds would be called in English. They are 
Redling, Rotling (which may be the same mushroom in 2 different 
dialects), Raysling, and and Stockschwammen. If anyone can tell from 
the recipes, please let me know, so i can update them.
