Please translate words on a German product we bought. The words are, "Burgis Bayerischer Knodelteig?"!
On the front package is a picture of the prepared food... It is round balls that look like bread rolls maybe...I am wondering how best to use this food and actually what it is, since I don't speak German regretably?...I actually thought I might be buying un-cooked pasta when I bought it...
Does someone out there understand from my explaination of what the food product is and how to prepare it to eat?
I will be ever so grateful for the help and information...God Bless...Nancy...
Answers: I just moved to Germany and went shopping...I bought what looked like possible bread dough, or un-cooked pasta sheets, which when opened is the consistancy of possible cooked, moist potatoe paste...

Kn?del are kind of dumplings and accompany often dark meats in heavy gravy. They are not exactly light either...
Bayerisch refers to the area where those dumplings are a speciality, and Burgis must be a name, I have not been to Germany for quite some time now...
Normally they have to be finished in hot water, where they will puff up. They constitute the starch part (like potatoes, rice, pasta or bread) during the main course.
Making Kn?del yourself from scratch is a difficult and time consuming art and nowadays housewifes resort to ready-made products.
Just try it, maybe you like them...
did you taste it? is it a sweet cream? the best i can come up with is that the second word is bavarian and maybe the picture is of some cream puffs or something....taste it and let me know! i'm really curious now, my family and i used to live in germany when i was younger and it was always fun figuring out what we had bought at the local market. my fave was kinder eggs! how i long for those.....:D
It looks like you have asked this under languages and people there have told you that it is noodle or dumpling dough...

The German fellow is right, it is like a pre-made Spatzeli dough, poached and then drained to cool down then either sauted with butter I like to use a brown butter, or with bacon and onions, they even make a good cold salad with a mustard and mayo dressing.
With that particular dough you have the option of cutting it into thin strips, into cubes like home fried potatos, there is a cutter in Germany that shaves it or makes it into strands like short spaghetti. Like all fresh pastas, you only cook it until it floats in the boiling salted water, so you need to watch it, have a bowl with ice water to shock them cold and them drain the pieces in a colander, I then place them on a paper towel lined baking tray to dry, cover them and put them in the frig, bring them out warm up about 15-30 minute before your going to cook them, the dough is very keepable, so you can use it a bit at a time just make sure wrap it good.
