Thank you. I’m glad to provide a chuckle. I tried to look up spaetzle’s origin story. And it’s hard to find a reliable, consistent source other than its first reference in 1725 by the dude Rosino Lentilio. It could be that there was some form it being made earlier than that. So I didn’t really include it, because spaetzle’s origin is so speculative (and oh boy, I didn’t want to invite the Spaetzle Army as I did that one time with hummus many years ago).
And spaetzle is delicious. Funny enough it’s a celebratory food. Not a survival one.
I just finished reading this, my first article written by you. Your backstory is fascinating, and it occurs to me that if you would be willing to share some of your recipes (I live in Kansas, and there are, quite literally NO Korean restaurants within driving distance), I’m willing to bet that people would love that. I know I would. I adore soups and stews, so reading about your beloved subeji (my apologies if misspelled), made my mouth water! You are a very talented and engaging writer, and I’m glad to have stumbled upon you!🌹
Wow did I laugh at the mayo turkey story. And it makes me wonder what spaetzle’s story is. This is lovely.
