I have the cookbook our exchange student brought me. It has lots of
recipes from Germany.

My cousin's kids start on the 7th of August in Boca Raton.

Maybe it's a summer intro to the internet course at the CC.

Sorry, dear, you missed the joke. Some years back rfc (and other
ngs) were continually flooded with posts asking "Do you have any
recipes from Europe?" Seems it was some sort of school project,
although why teaching anything would involve newsgroups is beyond me
🙂

Generally the assignments are, at least the ones I give, to use the
internet to find out about the specific topic that is assigned. I
require students to give references - including the URLs for the
websites they used. A newsgroup would be listed, again in my
assignments, as a personally conducted survey or a written interview
question and response.

But before you moved to the hinterlands of Honduras, Sandi, you had to deal
with the constant "Does anyone have a recipe from Europe?" threads here as
well. So why not instruct your students to be a tad more specific? Such
as, "Does anyone have a recipe for fried chicken?" Then perhaps it would
not be as humorous when it occurs yearly.

I was responding to "why would anyone involve newsgroups?"

I do instruct students to be specific in their questions. In fact I
just failed three out five summer school students on an assignment that
involved writing topic sentences for paragraphs/ phrasing questions.
They wrote sentences and questions that were too broad. Every one of
them got 50 percent or less on that assignment.

Did you read what I wrote?

"use the
internet to find out about the specific topic that is assigned."

SPECIFIC TOPIC. I assign specific topics. Things like "What is the
current volcanic activity at Mount Saint Helens," "Is solar energy a
viable alternative for Honduras?" "What current agricultural practices
are in use in your community and how could they be improved?" That one
narrowed things down to very small areas where they had to interview
farmers and agricultural specialists for their town. I never assign a
broad topic like "volcanoes," "solar energy," or "agricultural
practices."

Broad topics that are not narrowed down to the specific topic requested
get a failing grade.

What makes you think that I don't still deal with the topics like
"Anyone have a recipe from Europe?" I'm reading the same topics you are
reading - being in Honduras is irrelevant.

Well, i thought you were serious, but guess no one else did. Perhaps
because i am German and grew up with many recipes from Germany----must
be they were from Europe---and not just Germany. And I am 74 years old,
and I am sure most of you do not think I know about specialty
recipes---even tho I cook them every day. Love this sight, so do not
say I do not know of what I speak and I am not trying to be judgmental
of any of you. No responses please-----

Sorry, Carole, but I had to tell you that every year at this
time when the kids go back to school, some teachers give a
computer homework lesson to find various ethnic recipes
online, so they come to rec.food.cooking and ask:

Does anyone have any German recipes?

or

Does anyone have any recipes from Europe?

It has become a joke because it happens every year.

It's the the middle to end of July....where are kids going back to
school now? If this were the first week of September or the last week
of August, I might buy the going back to school and computer
assignment.

IMHO, what you are seeing in posts like "Anyone have recipes from
Europe?" are kids or adults who more than likely barely passed 7th
grade English. Any student of mine who can not narrow down a topic to a
more specific focused area gets a failing grade. We don't know how the
teachers phrased the questions or even if this was school work since it
is the middle of summer vacation for most kids. If this was an
assignment, I would be willing to bet they were also instructed to
narrow their focus to things like specific foods or regions within a
country. It sounds more like a lazy adult.

Buy a pair of wieners and drop them in boiling water for 3
minutes, put on a dish, side with dijon mustard and a pich of
grated horseradish, ready some bread, pop a beer open and here
you go.
Burp!

I hesitated to respond to this query as i have so many Germanic recipes
(does Austrian count?) that i did not know where to begin.

Here's a list of my a few of my favourites, recipe available on request.

Wiener schnitzel
Sardellensauce (anchovy butter sauce)
Gefullte gurken (stuffed cucumbers)
Leberknodel (liver dumplings)
Gefullte huhner mit krabben (roast chicken stuffed with shrimp)
Steak Eszterhazy
Stuffed kohlrabies
Dusene teleci na kmine (technically Czechoslovakian veal ragout with
caraway seeds)
Rigo Jansci (chocolate cream slices)
Sachertorte
Dobos cake

I often use a German Jewish gefulte fish recipe but with crab, i know
its not kosher but i like it a lot.

BUT... do you have any recipes from Europe?

Germany is still in Europe, constitutional difficulties
notwithstanding LOL.

Didn't miss a thing, *dear*. You missed the sarcasm.

Amazingly enough to me, my local schools here in Georgia start back
August 3rd. I have NO idea why, as it's hot as the dickens and miserable
for all involved. It has to be easier to cool a school building in May
than in August, so why don't they keep the kids in a bit longer and let
them have a full summer like the majority of the country and go back to
school after Labor day?

I don't know about you, but when June 1 rolls around I want to be OUT
no matter if it started in August or September last year.

Is it about getting the kids home to work on the farm? They had weird
stuff like that in the place in PA where I used to spend summers. The
schools would close when the kids had to be home for (name some big
farming chore here).

When I use to hang out in Savannah, GA, the schools were all having
their proms and graduation dances in early May right - no later than
Mother's Day weekend. Seems school year ends earlier also....like the
last day of May or even earlier. Two months out - June and July, go
back in August.
