Old bread rolls, egg, milk, parsley – these are the basic ingredients for dumplings, also known as “Knödel”. Also popular in Austria, South Tyrol, and the Czech Republic – in southern Germany they can be either a main course or a side dish, savory or sweet. In Deggendorf, in Lower Bavaria, they are even more than that: legend has it that the dumplings saved the town from an enemy siege.

Very interesting video ❤
Please make a video on cinque e cinque/ torta di ceci 🙏🙂
I have had a lot of different types of dumplings but never one from old bread. I will have to try making these!
Adding parsley to really bring out their flavor, 😂😂😂. Uyen, I can feel your pain.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Below average "food'
1 comment sez never had dumplings made from old bread? … that's exactly what Semmelknödel is; made from day old (or older) rolls. And, in Honolulu, a German Frau makes them from old pretzels! YUM!
Lucky scout get a piece of dumpling. After that siege, he came back to the town and married the woman 😂
Looks gross
Delicious. I like central European cuisine.
Nice tale, but we’re so arrogant that we have hard time acknowledging that the Arabs didn’t only bring us dumplings( in a gnocchi style),they brought us pasta, pizza, pesto, almonds, marzipan, artichoke, spinach, orange, lemon, coffee, sorbet sugar, rice ( all Arabic words by the way even in Norwegian) .. it would be interesting to see the food expo in Genoa ‘s main museum. Venice and Genoa took most of their knowledge from their capitals, since they were the centers of science, agriculture and art.. their Renaissance was 500 years ahead of Florence.
They taught us how to disinfect and sterilize wounds .. We got it all through their empire in the Iberian Peninsula, Southern Italy and Malta, not to mention the Crusades which allowed us to discover a sophisticated advanced civilization hundreds of years ahead of us.
Traveling changed the way I see the world, so different from our ignorant Western ways!
Sounds so good 👍😊 me 😋😋😌😋😋😋😌😋😋 gonna try this recipe
Living in Germany for 25 Years, still dont like dumplings. Although, there is an exception. Serviettenknoedel made out of Bretzel.
Pro tip for the lazy: just make one dough, you'll be fine.
My wife Ute made these for the past President's of the German club of New Orleans ; needless to say the old Germans cried with joy !
Aussie here. Mate! They look so YUM. I suppose you can add anything you like into them. As it always is, it so much better sitting and waiting to be fed .
