Spelling[edit]

The title of the article is 'Schnitz un knepp'. The first words of the article are 'Schnitz und knepp, often spelled schnitz und gnepp'. It is curious that the first three words use different spelling then the article title. User:216.237.226.1 modified the uns to unds. The best source for me on correct spelling is [Google], which gives more hits with the original un spelling than with the und spelling, so I've modified it.

Changes were made to the names, without any argumentation. I would like some reasons why before deciding that my best guess wasn't right. Also, a link to a recipe seems trivial. Any search engine will yield plenty of results. Calamarain (talk) 07:17, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"un" is a variant of "und" in the Pennsylvania German dialect. That's not what caught my eye, though. It was "snitz" and "The pronunciation is "snitz-en-nep"." I have never, ever seen "snitz" and the pronunciation most certainly is not "snitz-en-nep". It's pronounced as it looks to a native English speaker: 'shnits und k-nep'. Initial k or g before an n long ago became silent in English: "knight" pronounced "nite" for example, or "knife" pronounced "nife". But that is preserved in German and in the Pennsylvania German dialect. Best regards TheBaron0530 (talk) 19:28, 6 August 2020 (UTC)theBaron0530[reply]

Correction[edit]

Rivels are NOT dumplings. Yeast dumplings (knepp) are raised and added to boiling stock. Rivels are crumbly flakes of dough that resemble the black gritty dirtballs you get from rubbing dirty, sweaty skin. 173.64.111.235 (talk) 22:50, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
