    Lancaster, Pennsylvania - This recipe comes from the Dutch but was
    made famous by the Amish who live in Pennsylvania.
    Title: Pennsylvania Dutch Kluski Noodles

    Not quite. The Amish folk don't have Dutch but Deutsch i.e. German
    roots. Another Anabaptist group, the Mennonites, which started up in the Netherlands was led by a guy by the name of Menno who was Frisian.

    There is also a third group of "Plain Folk" with Austrian roots, called Hutterites, started by a Mr. Hutter.

    They all have similar beliefs, customs and common foodways but they
    are from their different countries originally.

    And Kluski is actually a Polish word for dumplings.

    To top it all off I doubt very much if the real Amish in Lancaster go to
    town to buy packages of frozn spinach, envelopes of onion soup mix
    or Parmesan cheese!





    Cheers
