Bible cheese

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bibbeliskäs

Bibeleskäs (also Bibeliskäs , Bibbeliskäs , regional Bibbeleskäs ; in Northern Baden white cheese ; in Württemberg Luggeleskäs ) is an Alemannic name for quark . Prepared with herbs, Bibbeliskäs is a regional culinary specialty that is widespread in Baden (a former state in the area of Baden-Württemberg ) and in neighboring Alsace .

origin

The origin of the name Bibbeliskäs cannot be conclusively determined. Bibbeli is an Alemannic word for knob; the surface of Bibbeliskäs traditionally shows knubbel as an imprint of the holes in the quark sieve (cheese bowl). In Alemannic, to which Swabian also belongs, “Bibbele” are also chicken chicks - Bibbeliskäs was given to the chicks as additional feed.

preparation

Bibbeliskäs as a culinary specialty is now made from quark to which various herbs are added. Originally the basis for Bibbeliskäs was the relatively dry and somewhat crumbly white cheese made by the farmers themselves, made from sour milk (e.g. “Hofsgrunder Käsle”). This is hardly ever offered in Germany. In Austria you can still buy it as a breadcrumb pot. The further composition of Bibbeliskäs varies from region to region and varies according to individual taste. Usually fresh chives , salt and pepper as well as some milk and cream are added to the Bibbeliskäs , occasionally finely chopped onions , shallots or pressed garlic can also be added.

dishes

Bibbeliskäs is served with potatoes in various forms such as boiled or baked potatoes, jacket potatoes, fried potatoes or hash browns or with fresh farmer's bread and is considered to be a simple and tasty dish. Because of the inexpensive ingredients, Bibbeliskäs is a typical dish for the "little people".

Bibbeliskäs is often offered in the warm season, as it is a low-fat, but protein and carbohydrate-rich food with a pleasantly refreshing character.
