Sounds like a great recipe, thanks for sharing it! Too bad Mrs Rivet doesn't like sausage or I'd be making it tonight...

how authentic are noodles for bavaria ?
I'm thinking not much ;-)

Tasty definitely - but authentic bavarian cookery - probably not.

Which raises an interesting question.
Is this forum for authentic regional cuisine - OR for what americans believe regional cuisine is (which is generally regional to that state and bears little resemblance to food eaten in the particular country).
It's a decision you guys need to make fairly soon before this turns into just another us based food forum. 

I like how you've started - but some food for thought in how you intend to proceed might be needed :-)

Good point CA, our intent is to make this as authentic as possible. Obviously none of us are experts nor have the background to master true authenticity, hence this site. We look forward to members like you to teach us the "true" dish from the "evolved" one when appropriate.
 
We also know that good food is universal and if a dish has evolved due to geography and history, well so be it; we will not refuse it's post on this site, and encourage such to educate us.

Just for future reference, the aardvark was right on...in Bavaria, spaetzle or potato dumplings or pancakes would be a much more authentic addition. If it was a family recipe however, far be it from me to overrule the noodles...
I love them!

Go ahead...play with your food!
