@Duvel, you could make Bauernfrühstück with chorizo instead of Speck. Best of both worlds, ja?
----------------------
Made a big batch of beetroot dumplings the other day and have been eating them, including for dinner.
Purple chicory loses its colour on contact with heat. Meat bits are smoked goose breast.
Beetroots go well with goat's cheese, I have Turkish cheese and it's just fine (cow's milk, young).
Dropped hard boiled eggs in the beetroot water and forgot about them til 2 days later.
Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese...
