When I was a kid living in Germany, local freinds made a similar dish, only it was one large sort of loaf, wrapped in cloth and boiled, then sliced and served with sliced pork and gravy. I just remember it being called knudel (both the k and the n pronounced). I'm not sure if it was a German dish or a Czech one (the family had lived in Grunwald, outside of Munchen for many years, but were originally Czech refugees).
