I guess you have to make it only from stuff that would be available in the Russian countryside in February, and spice it up with the appropriate crunchy/salty bits. >(Then again, I used to watch Mom cook. ;-) ) > >Cheers! >Rich Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

Though more gooey with mashed potatoes used rather than chopped. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

And the picture is >unappetizing. During my time in the german military, I had some courses of instruction on a base near Hamburg. One day they served Labskaus in the staff canteen there. That stuff looked just like that on the wiki photo. This was the event when I learned why they had roller blinds made of solid steel between kitchen and refectory. One of the comrades said: 'I won't eat this. That's food for pigs!' And he threw his dish into the kitchen. Most others followed. The officer of the guard, whom the cooks called after closing the roller blinds, had to draw his gun and shoot in the ceiling to calm the riot down. Since I had been near the end of the queue, I had no opportunity to try this Labskaus. I still don't know what it does taste of. Best regards, G?nther

I've always been led to believe that this wasn't a bug, but a feature. Really! (E.g., you can often get away with one diode when you'd otherwise need two if the things actually recovered quickly...) |
