German dumplings stuffed with beef, spinach, sautéed onions, and bacon. Served in a veggie-beef broth. Maultaschen are named for the monastery of Maulbonn, whose monks wanted to eat meat during Lent. So they hid the meat inside a dumpling, so God wouldn't see. Germans playfully call them "Herrgottsbetrüger" ("God cheaters").\n
