Schweineohren! (pronounced SHVINE-uh-oh-ruhn) Schweineohren means ‘pig ears‘ in German. Schweineohren are made out of strips of puff pastry and chocolate. They are sold in bakeries all over Central Europe. I don’t know who came up with the name ‘pig ears’ for this pastry, but I strongly suspect that it was not a Jewish bakery. Despite its name, Schweineohren is a vegetarian product, but it’s not vegan. The dough is made with sweet butter. Shweineohren are crispy and flaky and melt in your mouth. Sounds good, doesn’t it? I have several German tenants right now, so I have been dusting off my old German recipes.
