Dziedzictwo kulinarne polsko-czesko-niemieckiego pogranicza (na przykładzie gwarowych nazw klusek)
Culinary heritage of the Polish-Czech-German borderland as exemplified by Silesian names of noodles

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to show the culinary heritage of the Polish-Czech-German borderland as exemplified by Silesian names of noodles. 71 dialect lexemes were analyzed in the text; their origin and motivation were discussed. Several motivational groups have been distinguished: names relating to the method of preparing the dish; names referring to its main ingredient; names indicating the organoleptic properties of the noodles (colour, shape, texture) and their connection with the region or country. Some examples of noodle names are loans from German and Czech, pointing to a common culinary heritage. The text is based on old and new ethnographic sources, dialect dictionaries and field materials collected in the last few years in the area of Silesia and Opole Provinces.
