Literally translated, spaetzle means little sparrow, apparently due to a resemblance in shape. I’ve been an avid bird watcher since I was 8 and I don’t see it. That aside, spaetzle is a big deal in Germany where commercial production is estimated at 40,000 lbs per year. That part I do get. Production would spike if I lived there. I first became acquainted with spaetzle at the Hessisches Landesmuseum cafe in Darmstadt and became an instant fan. It’s easy to make and a nice alternative to everyday rice or pasta. There are scads of spaetzle recipes on the internet and Youtube demos, but one in particular I thought well done is this one with Martha Stewart and chef Mark Strausman.
