Earlier this year, I watched an "Undercover Boss" show on television. One of the top managers of a hotel chain worked undercover at some of their hotels. At one of them he helped the lady in charge of preparing breakfast. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the eggs for scrambled eggs coming out of a large carton – in a pale thin yellow stream. Yech! And this hotel was not even one in their lowest price range.<br /><br /><b>audio:</b> <a href="http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/yech" rel="nofollow">yech</a>, click on the loudspeaker symbol (English UK, oxforddictionaries.com)Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517346001348814015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-69327153397516460162014-05-04T19:59:44.243-07:002014-05-04T19:59:44.243-07:00Its so sweet and very much in keeping with Betty&#...Its so sweet and very much in keeping with Betty's style.

Love at first bite! The puddings were prepared in a muffin pan. They were a light and fluffy accompaniment to our dinner. But if you were to ask me what the entrée consisted of – other than the puddings – for the life of me I cannot remember. What I do remember is raiding my employer’s stash of cook books for recipes the next day. Successfully I might add, for not only did I find various versions for Yorkies but also recipes for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popover" rel="nofollow"><b>popovers</b></a>, the Yorkshire puddings' American cousin. I have prepared Yorkshire pudding a few times myself. <i>Sans</i> roast beef, mind you, mostly just as a treat to be consumed in the afternoon. (Or, as soon as they came out of the oven.)<br /><br /><a href="https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=%22yorkshire+pudding%22+inauthor:neels+inauthor:betty&num=100" rel="nofollow"><b>Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding</b></a> in the <b>Canon</b><br /><br /><b>The first taste</b> of Yorkshire pudding reminded me of the egg wreaths –<b> <i>Eierkränze</i></b> [EYE-yah-kren-tsuh] – you could buy at some bakeries throughout the area where I grew up. These days, you hardly see them any more. <br /><br />Traditionally, <i><b>Eierkränze</b></i> (egg wreaths) are baked in <a href="http://www.brotversteher.de/index.php?eID=tx_cms_showpic&file=uploads%2Fpics%2Feierkr_ze_01.jpg&md5=4f1b152c07eb7e502d23ab9c5b66e8bcbb1d5409&parameters%5B0%5D=YTo0OntzOjU6IndpZHRoIjtzOjQ6IjgwMG0iO3M6NjoiaGVpZ2h0IjtzOjQ6IjYw&parameters%5B1%5D=MG0iO3M6NzoiYm9keVRhZyI7czo0MToiPGJvZHkgc3R5bGU9Im1hcmdpbjowOyBi&parameters%5B2%5D=YWNrZ3JvdW5kOiNmZmY7Ij4iO3M6NDoid3JhcCI7czozNzoiPGEgaHJlZj0iamF2&parameters%5B3%5D=YXNjcmlwdDpjbG9zZSgpOyI%2BIHwgPC9hPiI7fQ%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">pottery moulds</a> on a very hot stovetop. (Observe the size of the moulds.) In the following picture you can see that <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viernullvier/11481391144/sizes/l/in/photolist-iuz8zJ/" rel="nofollow"><i>Eierkränze</i></a> are quite a bit larger than rolls. Consuming just one <i>Eierkranz</i> [EYE-yah-krunts] makes for a lovely, large, scrumptious and quite substantial snack in the afternoon. Or whenever. <br />The best egg wreaths were the ones from our village baker when we lived in a village. Their colour was a lovely <a href="http://reisefedern.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/eierkranz-t.jpg" rel="nofollow">golden brown</a>.Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517346001348814015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-65722156461018521162014-05-02T21:11:29.032-07:002014-05-02T21:11:29.032-07:00So cool. :)
