Funny Name: Swamping the Competition Edition

I suspect Bessie Evilsizor ("Hey Mom, What's Ta' Eat?" Women's Missionary Society First Church of God, 1974) meant "rivels."


But who knows? Maybe the soup is made with super-competitive potatoes.

    My grandma made something like this and the rivals were like a weird, little dumpling or spaetzle. Thanks for reminding me of this. :-)

      Yes, they are kind of like spaetzle. My mom used to make rivels when I was a kid, so I was kind of excited to see them mentioned too.
