Subject: [Sca-cooks] 23 German Mushroom Recipes
Twenty-three German Mushroom Recipes
most translated by Urtatim (once known as Anahita)
--- Introduction ---
When I was preparing the German Boar Hunt in 2001, I looked for
German mushroom recipes. Thomas Gloning was kind enough to find
fifteen for me in Marx Rumpolt and send them to me untranslated,
apologizing that he didn't have time to translate them.
Then Thomas sent me another batch of eight from five other books, for
a total of twenty-three recipes.
Although I only studied Modern German for about one semester back in
the 1970's, I translated them with the help of a dictionary and
experience reading Form of Curye. Then Gwen Cat was kind enough to
look over the first batch of seven translations and make a few
suggestions. However, Parts Two and Three didn't get "vetted".
Every different kind of mushroom has a distinctive flavor. So while
many different kinds of mushrooms appear to be cooked similarly
(wash, salt and pepper, grill or roast with butter), they will taste
different. The kind that is most common today (champignons) in
supermarkets are almost flavorless compared to many other kinds of
mushrooms (and i love even those little white champignons).
However, the recipes seem to me dependent on using the mushrooms
specified, no doubt found in the wild. While many of these are
available in the supermarkets around here, they would be rather
costly for 80 to 90 people, so i bought a flat of little mushrooms
and cooked them according to Form of Curye.
I posted my pathetic translations to the Cooks list back in late Sept
and early Oct 2001. However, other things were on our minds then, so
they may well have been forgotten.
--- Notes on the Originals ---
All these recipes were sent to me by Thomas Gloning, to whom many thanks.
In Parts One and Two, from Rumpolt, the lines that read <<R-number>>
are page numbers in the original.
Notes on orthography:
1. In the originals, wherever a vowel is followed immediately by a
colon (:) this represents a vowel topped by an umlaut (..)
2. In the originals, where there is a "j" it is pronounced like an "i" or "y"
3. In the originals, where there is a "v" it often represents a "u"
--- Notes on the Translations ---
A commonly used word in these recipes is "begeuss" which is literally
"be-gush". In my original post i left it as "gush". But in this post
i have replaced it with "baste".
Another commonly used word in these recipes is "bestra:ew" (various
spellings) which is literally "be-strew". I have left it as "strew"
since this word appears in "period" recipes in English.
Where the word "salz" is used as a verb it often means "to season",
not just "to salt", as does the verb "pfeffern", not just as "to
pepper" but "to season".
I've broken the lines in my translations to follow the breaks in the
original, so that the translation is, i hope, easier to follow.
I've gone over them again, smoothing out a few things, and correcting
others. I haven't rewritten them all in completely modern form, as i
rather like retaining the "archaic" sound.
There are still a few words or phrases i didn't quite grasp, but i
think even in most of those recipes, the basic gist is clear. If
anyone has a better understanding, i'd appreciate your ideas for
translating these better.

----- Part One -----
Seven Recipes from Marx Rumpolt, 16th century
with some corrections and notes by Gwen Cat
<<R149b>
119. Nim{b} Keiserling/
welche Schwa:em{m} man gemeiniglich fu:er die aller besten helt/
wasch sie auss/ pfeffers vnd saltzs/
leg sie auff ein Rosst/ brat vnd begeuss sie mit Butter/
vnd gib es warm auff ein Tisch/
bestra:ew es mit Pfeffer vnd mit Saltz/
so seind sie gut vnd wolgeschmack.
119. Take Keiserling/
[Gwen Cat suggested: Emperor mushrooms]
which Mushrooms one generally holds best of all/
wash them off/ pepper and salt (them)/
lay them on a Grill/ roast and baste them with Butter/
and give them warm on a Plate/
strew them with Pepper and with Salt/
thus are they good and well tasting.
-----
<<R150b>>
135. Nim{b} frische Maurachen/ wasch sie auss zehen Wassern/
steck sie an ein ho:eltzern Spiess/ vnd bestra:ew sie mit Pfeffer vnd Saltz/
leg sie auff ein Rosst/ brat vnd begeuss sie mit Meybutter/
die vngeschma:eltzt ist/ bestra:ew es mit Saltz vnd Pfeffer/
so werden sie gut vnd wolgeschmack.
135. Take fresh Morels/ wash them in ten Waters/
[Gwen Cat NOTE: morels have lots of nooks and crannies
and could be really gritty if not washed very carefully and in many
changes of water]
stick them on a wooden skewer/ and strew them with Pepper and Salt/
lay them on a Grill/ roast and baste them with May butter/ that is unmelted/
strew it with Salt and Pepper/ thus are they good and well tasting.
-----
136. Du kanst auch Maurachen auff ein ander manier machen.
Wen{n} sie sauber gewaschen/ so thut man sie in eine Pfannen/
oder in ein Kessel/ thu Butter/ Pfeffer vnd Saltz/ darein/
lass damit auffsieden/
so geben sie gnugsam feuchtigkeit von jnen/
lass sie kurtz eynsieden.
Vnnd wenn du schier wilt anrichten/
so thu darein gru:ene wolschmeckende Kra:euter/
die klein gehackt seyn/ so werden sie gut vnd wolgeschmack.
136. You can also make Morels in another manner.
When they are washed clean/ then one does them in a Pan/
or in a Kettle/ Do Butter/ Pepper and Salt/ therein/
Let seethe therewith/
then give them enough Moisture (of/from) jnen/
let them seethe a short (time).
And when you will make them quickly/
so do therein green well-tasting Herbs/ that are chopped small/
Thus are they good and well tasting.
-----
[While i arrived at what i think this recipe means (see my note
below), the translation remains rough and there are places where i'm
really not sure what it is saying.]
137. Klaub die gro:essten Maurachen/ die fein gantz seyn/
auss/ die kleine aber druck wol auss/
dass kein Wasser darinnen ist/ hack sie klein.
Nim{b} Eyer/ schlag sie wol durcheinander/
vn{d} lass durch ein Ha:erin Tuch lauffen/
thu gru:ene wolschmeckende Kra:euter/ die klein gehackt seyn/ darvnter/
thu auch die klein gehackte Maurachen darvnter.
Nim{b} Butter in ein Pfann/ mach sie heiss/
vnd thu die Maurachen vnd Eyer darein/ mach ein eyngeru:ertes/
vnd thu es widerumb auff ein Sack/ vnnd hacks klein/
dass wol durcheinander kompt/ pfeffers vnd gelbs/ saltzs/
vnd fu:ell die Maurachen darmit/ thu sie in ein vberzindten Fischkessel/
mit frischer vnzerlassener Butter/ auch ein wenig Pfeffer/
geuss ein wenig Erbessbru:eh daru:eber/ Saltz/ vnnd gru:ene Kra:euter/
die klein gehackt seyn/ setz auffs Feuwer/ vnd lass sieden/
dass ein kurtze Bru:eh
<<R151a>>
gewinnet/ so wirt es gut vnd wolgeschmack.
Vnd solche Maurachen/ die zugericht seyn/ kan man auch wol braten/
oder in Pasteten eynmachen.
Du kanst sie auch mit Rindtfleischbru:eh kochen an einem Fleischtage/
so werden sie auch gut vnd wolgeschmack.
137. Gather the biggest Morels/ that are nicely whole/
away from/ those small but squeeze out well/
that no Water thereon is/ hack them small.
Take Eggs/ beat them well "thorough one another"/
and leave (let) to drain through a Hair Cloth/
do green well tasting Herbs/ that are chopped small/ there-over/
do also these finely chopped Morels there-over.
[i.e., add herbs and chopped small morels to the eggs]
Take Butter in a Pan/ make it hot/ and do these Morels and Eggs therein/
make an eyngeru:ertes/ and do it again on-in a Sack/
and hack small/ that well through one another (thoroughly) come/
pepper and yellow (them) [i.e., add saffron]/ salt (them)/
and fill these Morels therewith/
do them in an "overtinned" (i.e. tin lined) Fish kettle/
with fresh unmelted Butter/ also a little Pepper/
pour a little Pea broth there over/ Salt/ and green Herbs/
that are chopped small/ set on the Fire/ and let seethe/
that a short Broth <<R151a>> is obtained/
so it is good and well tasting.
And such Morels/ that are prepared/ one can also well roast (fry)/
or make in Pastry.
You can also cook them with Beef broth on a Flesh day/
Thus are they also good and well tasting.
[Anahita's NOTE: I know i've made an awkward and confusing
translation. However, i get the impression that one keeps the biggest
Morels, but chops up the small ones. Then one beats eggs well, adds
chopped herbs (often parsley and sage, although others may be
possible) and the small mushrooms finely chopped. Then one cooks this
egg-mushroom mix in butter in a pan. To this is added pepper and
yellow (saffron) and salt. Then the stalks which have been taken off
the big whole Morels are also chopped. Then the egg- mushroom mixture
and the chopped stems are stuffed into the big mushroom caps. The
stuffed caps are put in a deep pot with butter and pepper. Then some
pea broth is poured in (but not submerging the caps?). This is
seasoned with salt and more finely chopped herbs. And this is
simmered over a fire until the moisture comes out of the mushroom
caps - i.e., it is done.]
-------
138. Nim{b} Maurachen/ quell sie in einem Wasser/
druck das Wasser widerumb davon/
hack sie klein mit gru:enen wolschmeckenden Kra:eutern/
thu sie in heisse Butter/ vnd ro:esst sie/
nim{b} alsdenn Eyer/ die auffgeschlagen seyn/
saltzs/ pfeffers/ machs gelb/
vnd ru:ers vnter die Maurachen/
so wirdt es gut vnd wolgeschmack.
Also kocht man Lungenmuss von Maurachen.
138. Take Morels/ soak them in one Water/
squeeze that Water again (repeatedly) from them/
Hack them small with green well-tasting Herbs/
Do them in hot Butter/ and grill (cook/fry) them/
Then also take Eggs/ that are beaten/
salt (them)/ pepper (them)/ make gold/
and stir under these Morels/
thus are they good and well tasting.
One also cooks Lung pudding of Morels.
[Anahita's NOTE: i'm not sure if the final sentence means:
(1) Lung Pudding is cooked with Morels
(2) Lung Pudding is cooked with Morels replacing the Lung
(3) Lungenmuss is another kind of mushroom which is cooked like the Morels.]
-------
139. Nim{b} du:erre Maurachen/ weich sie in Wein/
vnd lass ein stundt darinnen ligen/ so lauffen sie fein auff/
steck sie an ein Spiess/ bestra:ew sie mit Pfeffer vnd Saltz/
leg sie auff ein Rosst/ vnd brat sie geschwindt hinweg/
begeuss mit frischer Butter/
vn{d} gibs warm auff ein Tisch/
bestra:ew es mit Pfeffer vnd saltz/
so ist es gut vnd wolgeschmack.
139. Take dried Morels/ soak them in Wine/
and let an hour therein lie/ so drain them fine off /
[Gwen Cat notes: I'm wondering if he means they swell up nicely - reconstitute]
stick them on a skewer/ strew them with Pepper and Salt/
lay them on a Grill/ and roast them quickly hinweg/ baste with fresh Butter/
and give warm on a Plate/ strew it with Pepper and salt/
so is it good and well tasting.
-------
140. Du magst auch solche Maurachen zum eynmachen nemmen
mit ein wenig Erbessbru:eh/ Butter/ vnd ges[t]ossenen Pfeffer/
vnd mit gru:enen wolschmeckenden Kra:eutern/ die klein gehackt seyn/
lass darmit resch eynsieden/
dass ein kurtze Bru:eh gewinnt/ so wirt es gut vnd wolgeschmack.
140. You make also such Morels to eynmachen nemmen
[simmer?]
with a little pea broth / Butter/ and brayed Pepper/
and with green well-tasting Herbs/ that are chopped small/
leave therewith quite briefly to seethe in/
that a little Broth is obtained/ so is it good and well tasting.

----- Part Three -----
After the first batch, and knowing that Thomas is very busy, i was
astonished to receive another message from him with the recipes below.
Thomas is incredibly generous with his time and knowledge - as are so
many folks on this list.
The dialect is very different - or at least how it is written - in
these recipes from Rumpolt - there's almost 150 years between Rumpolt
and some of these - and was much more difficult for me to figure out.
It looks to me like the "sz" == "ss" and the "cz" == "tz" in the
Rheinfra:nkisches Kochbuch and Kochbuch der Handschrift, and like
they sometimes use "p" where later there is "b".
My translations of these were also never commented on and corrected.
