NOTES : The East Germans are devotees of dumplings, or knodel, which they

make in seemingly endless variety. Some knodel are prepared with a

yeast dough; others are made of flour or potatoes, and include such ingredients as bread cubes, cheese, meats, fish, semolina and

fruits. Knodel may be either savory or sweet and are served in soups or stews, as accompaniments to meats, game, poultry or fish

and as desserts. Following are typical kinds.
