Cheeky grumberry
Backesgrumberry is a typical Rhenish Hessian dish made from potatoes , pork and wine .
Origin of name
The name is derived from the words "Backes", the village's bakery , and the dialect "Grumberry", meaning "basic pear" for potatoes. In earlier times, the villagers would put their pots with this dish in the village bakery to use the even residual heat after baking bread together . After there was no more "baking", the pot was usually given to the bakery on Saturday mornings and picked up there again after the working day in the Wingert (vineyard).
The recipes of this local specialty vary from village to village. The Albiger , Armsheimer and Framersheimer Backesgrumbeere are particularly well-known and were even immortalized in a poem by the dialect poet Theodor Eichberger (1926–2003), a grandson of Theodor Eichberger . Every two years on the third weekend in August, a three-day festival has been held in Simmertal for more than 30 years in honor of the "Backesgrumbiere" . Simmertal is a 2000-inhabitant community in the Bad Kreuznach district at the intersection of the Nahe and Kellenbach valleys.
