While I recognized the roast pork and the savoy cabbage, I’m pretty curious about the round mysterious object… Hmmm I would like to get a fork and taste it… How do you make it?
Is he talking about the Knödel? 
Yeah, maybe like those ones?
No, this is to show and/or share our own recipes. The XXX area is this one:
EDIT: BTW, speaking of different threads… given @milanfahrnholz’s ease with pareidolia, and given many wonderful examples he showed us, we definitely need to collect them all in a “Milan’s Pricks” thread.

In my case, you buy a package of 6 in the supermarket, and boil as many as you need in salted water. Sorry to disappoint.
My grandma would have started by boiling potatoes, passing them through a sieve, adding grated raw potatoes, forming balls and likely simmering them for an additional 15 minutes. If you’re truly curious, I guess I can dig out an actual recipe.
That one looks like a decent Bavarian one:
These specific dumplings are called “Half and Half”, because they are made from part cooked, part raw potatoes. It’s my favourite, though I’ve nothing against Semmelknödel either.
Those are a little different. They contain bread rolls and parsley. They taste a bit stronger than plain potato dumplings.

I approve!

No hurry intended, but that would be nice, indeed. I love knödels (or Canederli, as the corresponding italian recipe is called), but you can’t find them in Italian supermarkets (except for Sudtiroler ones). There’s a tirolese deli in my town, but it is quite bothering going there just for some knödels
EDIT: oh, you added it. Thanks
I loved the Semmelknödel my grandma used to make. They were a bit smaller and more brownish-yellow looking, but they tasted great. I don´t think I or anyone could ever reproduced that faithfully.

Hope Google translate will not turn it into Frankenstein’s Knödel or some such

Blaming Google Translate is my precise intention in case the result would be awful for my fault.

There´s a couple of things on that page even I haven´t seen before. I don´t think I´ve ever heard of a “Scheiterhaufen” before.
I’ve heard/read “Scheiterhaufen” somewhere, but I’ve never made or eaten it. But it’s not very uncommon.

Me neither. Though in a way the recipe reminds me of Carthusian dumplings (which I actually made between Christmas and New Year, last year).
Turned out pretty well, given I never prepared them before. Then again, I had not eaten those for like 20 years, so hard to judge whether they actually came close to those I remember of old.

I made a shepherd’s pie for the first time.
I’ve been wanting to do this for years…
Full disclosure: that is a store bought crust.
That was the intimidating part, the rest of the recipe was pretty simple!

Never had myself. I only recently stumbled across it because John Oliver mentioned it in a joke about british stereotypes.
What goes in it?
I love it, it’s one of my favorite dishes ever (but maybe I’m just an Anglophile).
It’s basically ground beef/onions mixed with vegetables (peas and carrots) then a layer of mashed potatoes on top. Sometimes with sprinkled cheese on top of that.
It’s kind of like cooking 2 dinners, then waiting an extra hour for it to bake… so probably better suited for cooking on a weekend rather than a workday.

But so am I!

Thanks!
Is that the way our residential brits would do that, too?
