Who has a German form of a well-known 19th century American dish named after him?

This could get complicated, gmack. I was born and raised in a part of the U.S. considered to offer "traditional" or "heartland" American food, but that cuisine has also been heavily influenced by the many German immigrants who settled in the area. There is a filled doughnut called a "Bismarck." Fried and sugared dough pastries date back to the earliest Dutch and German settlements of the 17th and 18th centuries, and I am not quite certain why this particular confection should have been named after the German Chancellor. I suspect that this is not what you're looking, for, but this is an interesting list of foods named after people: http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-foods-named-after-people May 29 05, 9:34 PM

Just think who is possibly the most famous German to hit the headlines this year and it should be a small step from there... May 30 05, 5:33 PM

Chicken a la Schroeder? Eggs Grass? (He is into cooking.) Oysters Kohl? I couldn't find a thing about this, gmack, not even after using as many German nouns for foods as I could think of. I'll keep trying. However, did you know that there is a German version of cream cheese called "quark"? Thought you might be interested. May 30 05, 5:35 PM

I had heard of a soft cheese called "quark" but didn't realise it was German. You still haven't mentioned the most famous German in the news this year and you will kick yourself if I have to tell you! May 30 05, 5:49 PM

Could it possibly be Joseph Ratzinger, perhaps? May 30 05, 7:06 PM

Peasy gets the yay, but -- Eggs Benedict XVI. That is truly terrible. May 30 05, 7:39 PM

Yay Peasy! Terrible Frankie, but widespread though. I found over 460 sites listed mentioning the new dish. May 30 05, 8:24 PM

Little is known about this 15th-16th century German and yet he has had novels, poems, operas, movies, musicals, comic strips and video games based on him. Who was he? A certain "effect" named after an 18th-century composer has influenced the rearing of children in recent years. What is it? This literary figure spent much of his life as an insurance executive and produced his most significant works after the age of 50. Today, many critics regard him as the most important American representative of his genre of the 20th century. Who was he? It's robboy's birthday and how better to celebrate than to prepare him my most popular and famous dish named after a certain saint, a knight who emerged from the sea covered in shells. Who was this saint and what is the dish I've prepared for his birthday surprise dinner this evening?
