It was translated as a Yeast Dumpling, which doesn’t sound tempting – and nor do the associations with ‘germs’. It is a steamed ball of yeast dough, filled with concentrated plum jam and covered with poppy seeds, icing sugar, and melted butter. Wonderful!

I was fortunate enough to share one once in Bolzano… it was close to heaven with the flavors of plum and butter especially. Between that and Kaisershmarrn, I think Austria takes the cake for dessert!
Well put! :-)The sad thing is that the offerings are being tailored, in many places, to the (perceived) preferences of tourists. Many tourists are reluctant to try something unfamiliar, so these things disappear from the menu. The latest casualty I came across – only last weekend – was the demise of Cafe Landtmann’s ‘Landtmannkugeln’, once one of their signature desserts. People recognise a cake or gateau, but a cocoa-covered ball seemingly was beyond most customers’ food horizons. Gone for good, I am afraid – although we came across something quite similar yesterday in an old-fashioned cafe near the Slovakian border!
