That is not Ravioli, des saind Maultasche. Und des hend Mönch erfunde, wia au s Bier, beudes in the Fastezeit.
So yes, because of the catholic church we have now, Beer, Fastnet or Carneval and also bags of Nuddles, with green Meat in it.
Be silent, your unbeliever.
I think “fool the Lord” is way too nice a translation for “Herrgottsbscheißerle”, which I prefer to translate as “God-bullshitters”.
The popular theory, by the way, is a nice story but the archivists at Maulbronn haven’t found any record of it — the story seems to be a modern invention, and there is no mention of the legend before the 20th century.
It has a slight ring of truth about it, because there is evidence of ducks and even otters being officially declared “fish” so they could be eaten on fast days, but when you think about it, it’s unlikely that monks — who earnestly believed that God knew their most secret thoughts — would think that God could be fooled by a bit of pasta.
In the 16th century, “Maultasche” or “Maultatsche” was the word for a slap in the face, but it’s not known if this is the origin — or if it is, *how* it’s the origin. One suggestion is that a Maultasche bulges a bit, like a swelling on the skin, but I have by doubts about that one.
