Badischer Kartoffelsalat, der beste der Welt. Meine Oma hat ihn aber immer mit warmen Kartoffeln gemacht. Und MAGGI ist das MSG der Deutschen auch sehr beliebt in Baden-Württemberg. Finde es toll, dass ihr ein altes Kochbuch aus der Heimat habt und es benutzt, so schmeckt es auch nach Heimat wenn man will.

[@yourCOShouse]

Ja jeder hat doch seine eigenen Gewuerze und Geschmaecker, ich bin froh, dass wir das Kochbuch haben aber total traurig dass es auseinanderfaellt. Danke fuer's gucken. Naechstes mal kommen Frikadellen.

[@EvelinHolmes]

There are thousands of German recipe.

I am originally from Kassel and immigrated to Canada when I was very young. My mother always cooked very german food which I so appreciated. I love to cook german food as my family and my husband's family seem to enjoy it. One has to admit that german food is very hardy and substantial. I wish there were some great German cookbooks, I only seem to find Dr. Oetker which are pretty simple.

[@yourCOShouse]

Plus in the Dr. OETKER.book they are using their products of course. You should be able to find some used german cookbooks on ebay

[@teresafaulkner4874]

The recipe I had called for dry mustard it was very tasty

[@yourCOShouse]

@teresafaulkner4874 Sure, that sounds delicious!

[@NancyBurba]

Where do you buy the German products?

[@yourCOShouse]

@@NancyBurba we have a local German store, mom says she buys also here germanshop24.com

[@GrandmaPatty49]

My Mom used the bacon grease she had from frying the bacon. Added the vinegar to it. My mother in law never put bacon in it. I prefer bacon in it, but I always liked her salad, too. She put oil and vinegar and a little sugar.

[@yourCOShouse]

@GrandmaPatty49 yes I have seen that.being used before as well

[@debbiemccaffery4358]

Is the cookbook still in circulation? What's the title of the book and author

[@yourCOShouse]

@debbiemccaffery4358 Hi Debbie, unfortunately, the book is not available anymore. It was hyperlocal for the students of the local (house keeping school)

[@debbiemccaffery4358]

@@yourCOShouse thank you

[@dariadykyj2179]

Some German potato salads add sugar?

[@yourCOShouse]

@dariadykyj2179 wouldn't surprise me, north Germans like to do eat with a more sweet touch in salads I think.

I can read fractur ,only as a book but not in hand writing.

[@yourCOShouse]

@@EvelinHolmes yeah handwriting is tough

[@vonpfrentsch]

Can you even read "Frakturschrift"? Nowadays, only people over 50-60 can still read Fraktur - if at all -, on the other hand e.g. my children can´t.

[@yourCOShouse]

Bei den Rezepten hab ich kein Problem, nur bei Geschichten wirds schwierig. I came to the US in 1995, and my Oma would write everything in Old German Schreibschrift. That was hard, but I figured it out. Unfortunately, she died at 67 long before I was old enough to ask her questions about the war.

[@vonpfrentsch]

@@yourCOShouse Danke! Ich habe hunderte von Klassikern (Goethe, Schiller etc.) in Fraktur, und kein Mensch kann sie lesen.

[@yourCOShouse]

@@vonpfrentsch ja das ist schade aber Goethe und Schiller ist fuer Viele in regulaerer Druckschrift schwer in zu lesen... Das ganze in altdeutsch zu Machen ist Dann doppelt schwer
