No fair! The least you can do is post the recipe, plus mail everybody a
sample! :-)

But then, ever since your fruitcake story, we know what happens when you
decide to mail food...

Not too bad for a notorious non-'platt'-writer ;-)!
'Kerf' of course is nearest to the word what Klaus-Werner is searching for.

Very special regards

Jan, it's Low Saxon (_Nedersaksisch_, "Low German" _Nederduits_, 
_Platduits_), specifically a dialect of the North Saxon group (which has 
most members in Northwestern Germany, also in the Northeastern Netherlands, 
e.g., Grunnegers/Gronings).

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
