The article on knödel on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knödel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knödel is a hot mess. I was curious to see a distinction between knedlik and knodel so I looked at this and, aside from its over-reliance on German terminology, it seems to contradict itself internally. I grew up with English terms for the dumplings that I ate, which were primarily plum dumplings (very rarely with other fruit) and bread dumplings. In my limited experience, knödel is just the German word for what Czechs call knedlik, but I just eat them, I'm not an authority.
- eru 6y agoIn German, Knödel can be both a generic term for some class of dumplings or mean something more specific. There are regional differences and a lot of context. Lots of dumplings also have multiple names in different regions. One of my favourite names is Dampfnudeln. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dampfnudel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dampfnudel The names means steam(ed) noodles, but they are a kind of dumpling.
