I found this track by TOOL tonight: The Eggs Of Satan As I am learning German - sorry, Deutsche - SOME of this made sense to me, but I would love extra details. I know it is a 'Song' about a recipe for 'The eggs of Satan.' "Der eihr Von Satan" (The eggs of Satan) Next line mentions something about sugar, but as I am still learning German, I can't say for sure. Being a recipe, perhaps one cup of sugar? Next line - teaspoon of salt? Next line - Something about adding hashish? Next line - Add a cup of flour? Next line - Something about a tablespoon of sugar? Next line - ??? Lost..... Next line - ??? Lost..... Next line - And no eggs. Lost now!!!!  I will continue to listen to this one, but the music in the background is making it rather hard. It is obviously meant to sound somewhat Hitler/Nazi or perhaps even somewhat Kraftwerk? I know the very last line in this is also "And no eggs." It would seem to be a recipe for hash-cookies, but as I am not that way inclined, I won't be following this one, but I was interested from the German language side of things. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Did not listen to that because they want signing up to hear it. Your German (Deutsch - no 'e' at the end) has a long way to go The title suggests something else than a recipe when you consider that 'Eier' (eggs) is german slang for what aussies call 'balls'  . |

The BALLS of Satan? The link SHOULD have worked.  Can anyone else say if they were able to play this? YES - I am only a novice with German at the moment, so I will be making LOTS of mistakes - sorry.  BUT - I am learning..... Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

I have no idea what the "Master Race" over in Germany eat, but we British are familiar with something called Devilled Eggs. The Americans are deeply into Devilled eggs too. Many different recipes, here is just one: https://www.mccormick.com.au/keens/recipes/curry/curried-devilled-eggs?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch&utm_campaign=winter2020 No need at all to learn German just so you can learn these culinary secrets. Cheers, Tony. |
