There's a one-year backlog on Einbürgerungsanträge here in Hessen right now anyway, so there's not a huge rush.

The Sachbearbeiterin did advise me to semi-regularly attempt to get the US Behörden to take some action via email (just so it's documented) so this can be used as an argument in case the need to lawyer up comes. But right now there's no hurry, especially if it looks like the law might be changed anyway.

Yeah personally I don't want to renounce my US citizenship, so all I can really do is hope and wait. It's nice that you can seemingly set the gears in motion once meeting the requirements and leave Germany while the backlog gets worked through.

Apfelstücke go well with Pfannkuchen, by the way. Apply either Puderzucker or a drop of honey to the endproduct.

why would someone call an Eierkuchen a Berliner (or a Pfannkuchen)? you're making no sense

It's pretty easy, it's a "Berliner Pfannkuchen".

If you live in Berlin, you drop the Berliner.
If you don't, you drop the Pfannkuchen.

People in Berlin calling them Pfannkuchen without them having anything to do with Pfannen is just one of those things you're better of accepting instead of arguing, as the proponents will never change their mind. It's just one of those affectations, like people in the us calling padded rugby "football" or people in Köln galling Kölsch "Bier".

A Pfannkuchen is made in a Pfanne. Berliner is just a weird name for a thing that doesn't seem to have anything to do with Berlin. Krapfen is clearly the correct word.

Next you tell me that Leberkäs is not made out of Leber and Käse. (Then again I have no clue where the “Pfanne” came from, while the Leber and Käse is pretty much explained)

When I was a kid, I visited Österreich with my mom because we have some relatives there, and they had a pretty cool dog. So we went to a Metzgerei and my mother started with “I möchte gerne vier Wienerle…..” and stopped…

We then learned they are called Frankfurter there, and in hindsight, that was as funny as ordering Wienerle in Wien.

I neither want nor not want to renounce my US citizenship, it is what it is: just another bureaucratic hurdle. And if German law adapts to such a degree that it allows me to keep my US citizenship when gaining German citizenship, then that (at the very least) removes some time-pressure on the need to renounce the old one.

I probably will do it either way at some point if for no other reason than I don't feel much connection to the US anymore (and also FATCA is the most insanely stupid law, but that's beside the point), but it just becomes so much less critical if Germany is cool with people having dual citizenship for a few years.

There are tens of thousands of people with dual US/German citizenship anyway who live in a grey zone because they never renounced one of them once they turned 18 like they're supposed to, so why should a naturalized citizen be any different?

If the new Einwanderungsgesetz relaxes its stance on doppelte Staatsbürgerschaft, than this becomes less of an issue for me.

Is there any indication for this? Not having doppelte Staatsbürgerschaft because "Türken könnten ja sonst in beiden Ländern wählen und andere Einwanderer don't exist" is one of THE central tenets of Germans like Barzahlung muss überall möglich sein. This would be a huge change for that country.

Ernste Frage: What goes into the Raclette today, outside of cheese?

What do you have?

I've had good experiences with filet (lamb or cow), potatoes (cooked), mushrooms (champion or fancyer), Ananas for Hawaii-style shenanigans as well as shrimp and other crustaceans with garlic.

The original swiss style variant uses only cooked potatoes, the particular cheese and spices.

Just think of anything that would go well with being fried and / or overbacken with cheese.

If you like your apartment free from smoke, don't put food directly on the hot stone but use a pan like you would on a stove. Also don't overfill your pans. You don't want cheese to get on the heating elements.

Basically just go with the flow and improvise.

Raclette reminds me of being in a restaurant near a couple of complete halfwits either too dumb or polite to take action when their heating element was burning the cheese producing black smoke everywhere and then having to deal with a smokey stinking restaurant for the rest of the night.

I‘m just looking for new ideas. I‘ll go for a mix of the typical cheese with Roquefort and some Sardellen on either Kartoffeln or Baguette. The Mais intrigues me, might add some nice sweetness to it.

I should have said I mean the „non-traditional“ Raclette with that thing where you put the pans in. I know the original is big lump of cheese with a sidegrill you just scrape the melted cheese off (which I want to do one day). Blätterteig I would have never thought off, but I also have none here and am to faul to make some.

E: also good slide into 2022 everyone

Most underestimated raclette ingredient is Türkenbrot, imo.

Once I had no special raclette gear, but was hungry for cheese. Then I put the fancy raclette cheese on that fladenbrot, put it into the ofen on oberhitze and it was great.

Also, I don't really own a Raclette, but it was family tradition to use it on Silvester long ago, so this talk about Ralettieren hits me in the nostalgia balls pretty hard. :v:

Instead, I'm making my own Ofenchips. They've been soaking for the last hour and should be ready for baking soon.
