| On the website http://www.genussregion-oberfranken.de/spezialitaeten/spezialitaeten_von_a_z/z/286/zwetschgenbaames/details_39.htm they say that the name Zwetschgenbames comes from smokiing over plum tree wood. But I have heard that this is a myth. On this page they say nothing about the plum tree wood. They write about three months drying and aging with salt. I think that's the true story. http://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/N%C3%B6rdliche_Fr%C3%A4nkische_Schweiz The Zwetschgenbames is similiar to the Gbündner Fleisch from Switzerland which isn't smoked but only aged with salt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BCndnerfleisch Both are expensive. You pay around 3,50 Euro for 100 gram Zwetschgenbames in a butcher's shop. A little bit more in the Switzerland because the prices are higher there for all things. |
