Tollatsch is a blood sausage-like dumpling that is traditionally prepared at slaughter festivals in Pomerania and Western Pomerania . These are " fist-sized dumplings made from flour (or groats ) and blood (pork or goose blood), which are often filled with raisins." In a recipe from a local calendar for the district of Anklam from 1928, pork blood, pork broth, flour, rolls, rind, eggs, raisins and syrup as well as several spices are named as essential ingredients. All ingredients are added to the broth until a mass is formed from which dumplings can be formed, which are then cooked in the sausage broth. The finished Tollatsch is cut into slices.
In Pomerania and on Rügen there is also a New Year's pastry that was called Tollatschen , but apart from the name, it has nothing to do with the dumplings. "They are elongated cakes filled with fruit and jam, but they are not as huge as in the East Pomeranian Kollatschen , but only about 15 to 20 cm long."
Tollatsch found its way into literature through Hans Fallada's short stories entitled Das Wunder des Tollatsch .
