📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Maultaschen are a traditional dish of Swabia in southwestern Germany: a filling of ground meat, spinach, onion, and breadcrumbs wrapped in large pockets of thin pasta. A story says monks invented them to hide meat on fasting days, earning them the nickname 'little cheats on God.' They're eaten in broth or fried in butter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Swabian home-style restaurant, big Maultaschen float in broth — a classic Sunday lunch.
