ドイツ語:Maultaschen (singular ) is a traditional German dish that originated in the region of Swabia (in Baden-Württemberg). It consists of an outer-layer of pasta dough which encloses a filling traditionally consisting of minced meat, smoked meat, spinach, bread crumbs and onions and flavoured with various herbs and spices (e.g. pepper, parsley and nutmeg). ドイツ語:Maultaschen are similar to the Italian ravioli but are typically larger in size—each ドイツ語:Maultasche being approximately 8-12 centimeters (3-5 inches across). They are almost invariably square or rectangular in shape. On 22 October 2009, the European Union recognized ドイツ語:Maultaschen (''ドイツ語:Schwäbische Maultaschen'' or ''ドイツ語:Schwäbische Suppenmaultaschen'') as a "regional specialty" and remarked that the dish is significant to the cultural heritage of Baden-Württemberg.〔23.10.2009 DE Amtsblatt der Europäischen Union (Gazette of the European Union) (L 278/5; Verordnung (EG) Nr. 991/2009 der Kommission vom 22. Oktober 2009. )〕 This measure provides protection to the integrity of the dish, mandating that genuine ドイツ語:Maultaschen are only produced in Swabia, a historical region that was incorporated into the modern German states of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.〔(shortnews.de ), German article accessed 05-01-10.〕 ==History== In Swabia, ドイツ語:Maultaschen are the traditional dish associated with the Lenten commemoration of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. During Lent, Catholics and other Christians are encouraged to refrain from eating meat. However ドイツ語:Maultaschen are humorously associated with these days because the meat in the dish is concealed under the pasta dough and cannot be seen by God. Among the anecdotal stories regarding the origin of the dish, one claims that ドイツ語:Maultaschen were created by the Cistercian monks of Maulbronn Abbey for that purpose.〔(''in German'') Dierig, Von Carsten. ("Ein schwäbisches Nationalgericht erobert das Kühlregal: Das Familienunternehmen Bürger stellt jedes Jahr 1,5 Millionen Maultaschen her - Eigene Ladenkette geplant" ) in ''Die Welt'' 9 February 2009. Retrieved 5 December 2012.〕 Indeed, a Swabian German nickname for the dish, ''ドイツ語:Herrgottsbescheißerle'', means "God's little bullshitters". One of the earliest mentions of the name ドイツ語:Maultaschen is associated with several recipes in a 1794 cookbook—however, these are recipes for sweet desserts, and not a savory meat-filled entree.〔Allgemeine Küchenlexicon für Frauenzimmer. II. Th. Leipzig 1794. Col. 124–125〕 The name ドイツ語:Maultaschen is a compound word and could derive from two possible meanings. The first being that ''ドイツ語:Maultaschen'' comes from the combination of the noun ''ドイツ語:Maul'' referring to the mouth of an animal and ''ドイツ語:Tasche'', which means "bag." Thus, ドイツ語:Maultaschen literally would mean "feedbag"—as in a bag used for feeding livestock—and probably derives this name from its appearance. The second meaning could be that from an archaic word—either ''ドイツ語:Maultatzen'' or ''ドイツ語:Maultatschen''—for a "slap in the face." If this were its origins, the name would be a comparison between a swollen cheek after being slapped with the shape and appearance of the dish. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maultasche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
