Dracula’s Paprika Hendl and Slivovitz to Wash it Down, by Michael Fricker
"Ei Vant to Eat your Paprikash!" October brings the true beginning of the flavors of the fall. The popular culture heads towards Halloween with ridiculous use of pumpkin as a flavor in everything and anything.

“Mutti, When Are We Ordering the Wurst?”, by Werner Fricker Jr.
Werner Fricker Jr. tells the tale of our favorite Hungarian Smoked sausage. Is this story the definitive end of that tale? Who knows, after all everything has an end but the wurst has two.
