A Startling — Though Less Than Sophisticated — Discovery
Short Version: Eier Plätzchen = Vanilla Wafers
Long Version: My wife is a very, very s’phisticated women…a Hamburger, born with pearls rundum her neck…unless it has to do with her tastes in literature, men or food. The other day, before we went to a dinner party with a few compadres up the strasse, I asked my frau: “What should we mit?” Having spent a year in rural Ohio as an exchange student, she (naturally) responded: “Banana pudding.” Hmmm. My initial thought: “Well, schnooks, where the ‘ell am I s’posed to find the one key ingrediant — vanilla wafers?” Well, ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, as I later discovered, you will find among the cookies in your local grocery store something called “Eier Plätzchen.” These are exactly the same as vanilla wafers.
The only sad thing to report is this: After making what I thought was some arschtretende banana pudding, my wife said: “Well, this isn’t how they do it at Magnolia’s.” Ugh.
