"German steak". Beef burger. Beef minced (US: ground) with onions and formed into a thin patty. It is commonly then grilled and served on a soft white bread roll with a gherkins (US: dill pickle) and a choice of sauces. The beef burger is a very good example of something which, when made at home with good quality beef and served with a thoughtful sauce, can be a delight but which, in mass production, is pretty horrible.
A kind of yoghurt, clabbered milk or longmilk with a stringy consistency; milk, mixed with a little soured cream (US: cultured sour cream), which has been left to stand in a warm place until it has set. Lactic acid bacteria act on the milk. There is also a fungus present, Geotrichum candidum, which gives a smooth velvety surface to it. It is usually served with sugar, sprinkled with ginger and cinnamon and present with knäckebröd or ginger snaps.
Dill. European dill is anethum graveolens. Indian dill is anethum sowa. Dill is an herbaceous plant, about 1 meter (3 ft) in height, with wispy leaves, bearing clusters of small yellow flowers and oval, pod-like fruits. In Europe the leaves are often used to flavour fish dishes. The fruits are also left to ripen on the plant until they have dried. The fragrant seeds are then extracted, threshed and dried. It has an aroma slightly reminiscent of caraway, warm, aromatic and tingly.
