How To Make An Iced Camouflage Cake

hoop conveniently located Virpänk - No Language

This is an old traditional dessert from the Val d'Ultimo.

If you are familiar with us a little bit, knows that the Ultental begins in Lana. Who was once a Ultental knows that it is one of the most beautiful valleys in South Tyrol, because there are still so undeveloped and originally. This was and is still cultivated for personal use poppy. If you are lucky you can get even a kilo. There is much work behind it.

The inhabitants of Val d'Ultimo, the "Ultner" have their own dry humor. Half Ultental inscribed with the last name Schwienbacher, so as I did with girls name I keep, even if I get married. My father was a Ultner also one of the shrewd men. For us children there was no better entertainment when our father came together with one or even several of his brothers. Whole societies, they have maintained.

Ultner course say that Lana is "ausergschwenzte" Ultner because Falschauer that Lana Ultner brook flows into the Adige. And somehow Schwienbacher (an overflowing river) is also something to do with it.

The name for the "hoop conveniently located Virpänk", has certainly re-invented such a cheerful nature, just like someone coming to such a name?

The recipe was not a problem where I am related to half the valley. But whatever the explanation related to As I already had to dig deeper.

I just went to Ultner-Peck, for Richard (also Schwienbacher, how could it be otherwise), came and told me then given a nice explanation.

Whether I knew what a "Virponk" was.

I obviously do not know!

He: "Penen table in the Stubm, gypsum and a Ponk derhinter uane devour, ebn a" virponk "and when men de spialn, pen Boudn Notes afn aufi table, with the Haxn oubmibrisch, nor manner of a hoop conveniently located Virbonk .

For those who are powerful, I translated our dialect: When a table in a room, there is a bench behind the table at the front of the wall and a table, a Vorbank that has no back support. If you set the flushing of the soil, the Vorbank with his feet up on the table, then that is an established Vorbank.

Metaphorically you think of this bank. What do you see? The feet, which were made of thick branches. Of the branches we see the growth rings and are reminiscent of the established, cut strudel pieces when I put in the form. As simple as that!


The recipe is a poppy seed strudel recipe I got from my mother for a long time, otherwise processed.

With Richard Peck, the Ultner I discuss then about how to process the poppy. Poppy is a very fat seeds. In the bakery they have a kind of large mortar, where they crush the poppy. I have a poppy seed mill, where it is crushed and then the poppy is much smoother and better. He is often mistakenly chopped with a coffee grinder. Then he can not develop its aroma and eating it scratches.
