Woihinkelche

Seems to be a typical German dish, but beware it is a quite local one - I didn't know about it the other day. Picking up a random German person in NRW to talk about is, will definitely lead to confusion. In my ears it sounds like somebody who is asking the way to somewhere.

You can find many recites in the internet - e.g. this one. Especially the flambé part makes fun and gives the special taste. Awesome !
