Spatzle aka Spaetzle

Spätzle (Swabian diminutive plural of Spatz, thus literally "little sparrows", also Spätzli or Chnöpfli in Switzerland or Knöpfle or Hungarian Nokedli, Csipetke or Galuska) are a kind of soft egg noodle found in the cuisines of southern Germany and Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Moselle and South Tyrol.

Today in Germany, spätzle are largely considered a "Swabian speciality" and are generally associated with the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg. In France they are associated with Alsace and Moselle. (Remember Germany annexed Alsace at least 4 times during history so the northeastern part of France has a slew of Germany recipes & customs.)  The total estimated annual commercial production of spätzle in Germany is approximately 40,000 tons. Pre-made spätzle are also available internationally from companies such as Maggi, a division of Nestle.
