Savory potato cake: 'Poor man's goose'

Goose isn't eaten everywhere for Saint Martin's Day, also known as 'Martinmas.' People in the Rhineland traditionally eat a savory potato cake with a peasant origin, since many in the past couldn't afford roast goose. It can be also made with sausage, or vegetarian, (image). The name varies according to regional dialects, from "Potthucke," "Pfannenwalz," to "Knulls," "Riefpucks" and "Düppekooche."
