The origin of the word is uncertain. According to the Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Deutschen, Frikadelle (pl. Frikadellen) can be found end of the 17th century in German, and is related to the Italian frittatella, French fricandeau, and Latin frīgere ('to roast').[3] Other variants used in Germany are Boulette/Bulette, Bratklops, Fleischpflanzerl, Fleischlaberl, Fleischküchle and Grillette [de]/Grilletta as well as the Austrian Faschiertes Laibchen [de]. It may be derived from fricandeau de veau, a dish of sliced veal, larded with pork fat.[4] In the Dictionnaire des dictionnaires (1837) fricadelle is defined as, "In Belgium, a ball of minced, cooked meat" and a separate word, fricadèle, is defined as fricandeau.[5] And in Phillips's New World of Words (1706) it is defined as "Fricandoe, a sort of Scotch Collops made of thin slices of Veal, well larded and stuff'd." The Oxford English Dictionary defines fricandele (variation fricadelle) as a "quasi-French form of fricandeau".[6]

Wait. Are you a cherry cake?@ Schwarzwälder
When I declare correctly: "Ich bin ein Schwarzwälder!" = "I am from the Black Forest!" ....
.... some may claim that I have said: "I am a cherry cake!"
Because the Black Forest Cherry Cake is often referred to as a Schwarzwälder, for short.
yes!Wait. Are you a cherry cake?
A similar legend is that the Chevrolet Nova did not sell well in Spanish speaking countries because “No va” means “it doesn’t go.” But, like Berliner, it wouldn’t even occur to a native Spanish speaker that the car was called the Chevrolet doesn’t goDid John F. Kennedy ever say: "I am a doughnut!" ?
