You are a treasure trove of informati...Hi Anthony,<br /><br />You are a treasure trove of information on international foods.<br />Let me add one or two things.<br />Zwiebelkuchen comes from my neck of the woods and is a German/Alsatian specialty enjoyed mostly in southwestern Germany along the Rhine (from Switzerland) to Hessen (Hesse)<br />Along the Rhine the favorite drink is a Riesling, in Alsace it would be a very dry wine called Edelzwicker. In Frankfurt in Hessen the drink is Äppelwoi (dialect for apple cider with 5% alcohol), in Heidelberg on the Neckar they drink young wine called Federweisser (featherwhite) or Reisser (Ripper). The very young and unfinished wines are cloudy and either sweet or very tart.<br />These drink specialties also make the Zwiebelkuchen a seasonal pie eaten when apples and grapes have been harvested and processed.<br />There are festivals such as the Heidelberger Herbst (2 day festival meaning Heidelberg Autumn) where Zwiebelkuchen und Neuer Wein are the biggest thing on the menu.<br /><br />There is a tasty alternate version that you can get in Alsace across the border that is callec Flammkuchen (flame cake).<br />This is essentially a yeast dough as thin as a thin pizza that is lightly covered with sour cream, lots of fresh onions and Speck (thicker than bacon, but essentially the same thing)and baked like a pizza.<br />Also very delicious.<br />The spelling is ie in Zwiebel which legthens the vowel preceding it. Pronounced Zweebelcoochen.<br /><br />Hope I could share some local color.<br /><br />Alex<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042738366913966140.post-49060850899365696982012-12-31T10:58:03.203-05:002012-12-31T10:58:03.203-05:00SUSAN OLOIER: Friends and family loved it and I t...SUSAN OLOIER: Friends and family loved it and I think most people would likw it.

This remaining half should serve three but with us it would be two.

I used to make onion pie, way back in my cooking days and everyone in the family loved it. This sounds like each bite is a burst of delight.<br />#2.... because I'm on day 8 of a water fast. No hunger pains anymore but I'm satisfied with just looking at pictures of food. <br />You've got a winner here and I may make it and send it to my daughters for their T-Day dinner.<br />"Good eats" to you and your family on this day for giving thanks.<br />See ya....

This year my oldest is making French Onion soup for the starter. She took a soup class at a shop in D.C. and said this one was her favorite. I will try the tart later though...thanks for the recipe.
