Did you ever see a unique company name for a food? (or any product)

@OlderSometimesWiser A classic combination!

@CrazyMusicLover look up haluska. Hungarian pops up. It's not cabbage rolls in Hungarian, yet it does have cabbage in it long with noodles.

Interesting you mentioned nokedli! Because my father had mentioned that and he was purely Czech! That had noodles as well!

Haluska' is the closest thing to what my mother said. Though I do know mom was in Czechoslovakia. Her father died there and my half brother was born there, at separate times.

Two half sisters were both born and died in Hungaria though.

My half siblings are basically European. Because one half sister was born in Germany and the eldest half sister in Romania.

Mom was a Gypsy!

Born in Romania to Czechoslovakia (father died) to Romania (eldest born), to Germany to Czechoslovakia to Hungaria isn't even a straight line for having kids.

And mom's mother was born in Odessa Ukraine and died in Germany decades after WWII. The gypsy clan had to stop because of the iron curtain.

Mom's whole family was gypsy. Even her father was born in Germany.

There's no record for how long that had been going on. Easily a hundred years though, for just those three generations.

Sorry for the rambling, yet it is sort of related. Gypsy's were the intercultural mixers! Food is the main cultural commonality.

@DeWayfarer It's a bit different when I google search "haluska" because it's our word and also our national dish. 😅 It's a boiled dough, either made of flour or also mixed with finely grated potato.
I've always hated them with sauerkraut and pieces of smoked meat. There used to be that dish in school canteen.

I looked up Wikipedia and it says that in Hungary they call them galusky. It also states that Czechs also say halušky but as long as I know, they are more likely to say noky. It's never natural when a Czech says haluška.
My grandpa used to say "nokerle" which comes from Hungarian nokedli. I guess it's all mixed in the region and all the more when gypsies use it because they have a language of their own and pick words as they go.

@CrazyMusicLover gypsy language (romani) is nothing more than a mix of languages.

I had trouble understanding my own mother because of the mix. 😆
