Home made burger. How do you know it's home-made? Because I put the patty on the burger the wrong way. The cheese should be facing up, but in my burger it's facing down

I guess that I never followed burger making instructions properly. Oh well!

Let her be the one to make the destroying cut. That way you can not be blamed for the destruction of a beautiful, hand made by your wife, object.

You see.. that's why I'm not into pastry and have the deepest respect for people who do. That combination of taste and looks escapes my conception of what food is. To my antique and closed mind beauty and food are orthogonal and it fails to categorize something that is beautiful and eatable at the same time. Designed beauty I mean, not a strawberry.

No, I did not make this one (mine had issues), So I resorted to: Wikipedia

Salzburger Nockerl (pl., Austro-Bavarian: Soizbuaga Noggal) are a sweet soufflé served as a dessert, a culinary specialty in the Austrian city of Salzburg.

Recipe​

The sweet soufflé is made from egg yolk, flour, sugar, and vanilla (or vanilla sugar), mixed into a dough. Next, egg white and granulated sugar are whisked into a meringue until soft peaks form and then mixed into the dough with spatula. Finally, dumplings (Nocken, diminutive: Nockerl, cf. Gnocchi) of the mixture are baked in an oven until lightly brown on the outside (10-12 minutes).[1]

Salzburger Nockerl are always freshly prepared and served warm with powdered sugar, sometimes with a raspberry sauce or any other fruit spread layered on the bottom of the soufflé.[2] Though traditionally a dessert, the dish is filling enough to eat as a main course.

Cultural significance[edit]​

Although presumably derived from French soufflé dishes, Salzburger Nockerl, like Kaiserschmarrn or Apple strudel, has become an icon of Austrian cuisine. Legend has it that the dish was invented by Salome Alt (1568–1633), the concubine of Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau in the early 17th century. In any case, the golden dumplings represent Salzburg's Baroque atmosphere left by the territorial prince, whose life of dissipation came to an end when his archbishopric was challenged by the Bavarian neighbours. They are supposed to represent the hillsides surrounding the city centre: Gaisberg, Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg. The dusting of powdered sugar resembles the snow-covered peaks.[3]

Fred Raymond (1900–1954) composed in 1938 an operetta called Saison in Salzburg - Salzburger Nockerln (Season in Salzburg - Salzburger Nockerln). In this composition the sweet dumplings are praised as “Süß wie die Liebe und zart wie ein Kuss” (meaning Sweet as love and tender as a kiss in German).

The character David Slater reminisces about the dish cooked by his ex-wife in the 1953 film Die Jungfrau auf dem Dach.

Risotto with Carnaroli rice aged 12 month, pears Abate and walnut from Romagna and gorgonzola piccante. I was so skilful that now I deserve a sip of schotch and a bit of good chocolate
