Difference between Fleischkäse, Mortadella, and Parizer

Is "krapfens" commonly used to designate donuts?

"Krapfen" is a German word which means "donuts". I wonder if the term "krapfens" is commonly used in English to refer to donuts or if it may be pretty odd. I have such doubt because it sounds similar to "crap" and it might sound not very good to…

Can German Potato Balls be frozen?

Can they be frozen, before being cooked, for a week? I'm making sauerbrauten & potato balls for 25 people, and thought if I could make them a week earlier and just cook them that day, it would be a lot easier.

Are lebkuchenherzen made from the same mixture as Lebkuchen?

I'd like to know how lebkuchenherzen are made. Round iced Lebkuchen can have a soft cakey texture which I would imagine wouldn't be strong enough to hold the shape of a large lebkuchenherzen. Are lebkuchenherzen made from the same mix and the…
